Mercury and Venus, and their father Jupiter and grandfather Saturn, beam down on you with their fervent wish that life on their fellow planet will brighten in the coming year.

One way: right-click, and choose “View image”, then enlarge. Or choose “Copy image”, then put it on your desktop, then open it. On an iPad or phone, use the finger gesture that enlarges (spreading with two fingers, or tapping and dragging with three fingers). Other methods have been suggested, such as dragging the image to the desktop and opening it in other ways.
Happy New Year Guy,

I wish I could make my sky scenes as beautiful as that.
I wish I could make mine as *accurate* as yours LOL! I use planetarium software as a guide for the constellation boundaries, but unfortunately I am still just drawing them in “free-hand”, so there are probably some slight inaccuracies.
Lovely! And thanks for the annotations.
i hope so
Best wishes to all for Christmas. It’s a cool, humid and foggy Boxing Day morning here.
Ad unum et omnia felicia Saturnalia.
Fearful people live in a self created darkness.No amount of testing or logic will allay their fear.
