Christmas Apparition
Movie 579: Christmas Apparition - 2/10. This movie is so boring. There are basically only three characters: one is incredibly dull, one doesn't talk, and the other is a total bitch for no apparent reason. I don't even think there was an apparition in this movie!
Christmas Apparition
Over the two days of Christmas the closest planet to the sun will reach its highest point in the sky during its current winter evening apparition, 12 degrees above the horizon (a little more than one fist's width at arm's distance), while shining with a magnitude of -0.6, according to In the Sky (opens in new tab).
An apparition is a period in time during which an object in the solar system is visible from Earth. Apparitions of Mercury can happen in either the morning or evening skies with this depending on whether the planet is to the east or west of the sun.
When Mercury is to the east it rises and set after the sun and can be seen in the early evening. When it is to the west, on the other hand, it rises and sets before the sun and is seen shortly before sunrise. Current to the east of the sun the ongoing evening apparition of Mercury lasts from Dec. 4 until Jan. 3.
Despite its boost in brightness, Mercury will still be no "Star of Bethlehem" in the evening sky, however. The smallest planet in the solar system will still be a challenge to spot as this apparition isn't one of the most prominent.
Additionally, acting sooner rather than later is the best bet to see the planet. This is because Mercury will fade in brightness towards the end of the December-to-January apparition as it passes between and the sun heading towards an arrangement called an inferior conjunction.
These periods occur roughly every three to four months and last for a few weeks at a time. Mercury last reached its greatest elongation and thus its furthest separation from the sun during this current apparition on Dec. 21.
Okay, but what about the ghost of Christmas future? This apparition convinces Scrooge that the true spirit of Christmas is found in the joy that comes from giving to others and celebrating together and there is no better time to start changing his life than at Christmas. This ghost also presents fear and death, and convinces Scrooge that if he doesn't adjust his attitude, doom awaits him and everyone else will celebrate his death.
Millions of pilgrims typically visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in December to celebrate the festival, which marks one of several apparitions of the Virgin Mary that some Catholic believers say was witnessed by an Indigenous Mexican man in 1531.

Although the Leech engraving is entitled "The Last of theSpirits", the German translation involves the concept of supernatural "phenomenon," or"apparition," or even "visitation." More clearly than the English original, this German copy makes explicit the connection between the capitalistic system represented by Scrooge and urban blight, as the halking tenements are directly across the street from the crowded burial ground, a highly unsanitary situation for the urban populace. Both are key-hole vignettes, and the detailing in the 1844 plate closely resembles that of the original, except that the German engraver has placed the area railing on the horizontal, and has run the cross-member slightly outside the frame of the vignette. More significantly, the Spirit of Christmas Yet To Come is a more substantial figure in the 1844 plate. Finally, the dessicated tree that emphasizes the form of the unknowable spirit recalls for English but not for German readers the blighted tree in "Ignorance and Want", a product like the allegorical children of an irresponsible factory system that places profit over the welfare of either working people or the environment, a theme which Dickens underscores in Hard Times (1854). 041b061a72
