Insomniac-Net Questions -- Friday[35], Aug 26, 2016
Tonight's Topic: Jupi-Venus-Con
    Good morning/evening, everybody! Thank you for joining us tonight.
    We hope you'll discover something interesting during the time we spend together on the Insomniac Net for the next 90+ minutes.
        -- The ever-delightful Shelley [KF7TBA] and just plain old LW [K7LWA] (email K7LWA.INS@gmail.com).
    (Please Note: The Net Controller's Answers are always CORRECT (even if they aren't every time!)

=================
    Around sunset on Saturday -- August 27th -- an interesting planetary event will occur at the western horizon near you.
    This event is called a planetary conjunction, which occurs when two objects in the night sky, such as planets, appear close to each other before they start to drift apart.
    The two objects in this conjunction will be Venus and Jupiter -- two of the brightest planets as seen from earth.
    Accordingly, we offer for your approval, 3 True-or-False ("TorF") questions about this Venus and Jupiter conjunction.
    Please give us your best answer for each of the following 3 TRUE or FALSE questions, by using the (reuseable) answers of "A"=TRUE or "B"=FALSE.
    Good Luck and remember, YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!
    Ok, at sunset on Saturday, look West, you planet gazers!
