Unlike the other carbonated options, tonic water has a distinct flavor and it certainly can't be swapped out (or in) for carbonated water. Tonic water is a bitter drink (a result of the addition of quinine) which pairs particularly well with gin. Also unlike the other waters, Tonic contains calories -- about 130 for 12 fluid ounces. CORRECTION: The post initially suggested that San Pellegrino does not contain additional carbonation; it does.
Inferior planets never acheive opposition, and superior planets never achieve inferior conjunction. Check ï¬gure 2-4 if this isnât clear. Hence: neither Mercury nor Venus is ever seen at opposition; Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn never pass through inferior conjunction.
The last time we had an inferior conjunction of Venus and the sun was on June 6, 2012. On that date, Venus actually passed in front of the sun's disk as seen from Earth, an event so rare that it happens less than twice a century. This was called a  transit of Venus .. But on Saturday, Venus will pass well to the north of the sun, so it will not be visible on the sun's disk by observers on Earth. If you manage to spot Venus in the next night or two, take a look at it with binoculars. It should appear as a slender crescent, almost completely backlit by the sun. A week later, at sunrise on Wednesday January 15, Venus has become a âmorning starâ and rises just before the sun.
