waving at saturn

yesterday i saw a picture of people who got together to have their pictures taken, waving at saturn.

unfortunately, i didn't have time to read why they were waving at saturn. i suppose it was some sort of whimsical thing.

in a minute, i will google for the reason, and then i'll know what the point of it was. but for just now i'm going to remain ignorant.

i'm wondering...

will people get together to wave at the other planets? will pluto, the ex planet, be sad that no one is waving at it? what about the sun and the moon? will people wave at them too? what about stars? shouldn't we also wave at stars?

will there be gatherings to wave at other things? like trees. or sand dunes? or islands?

don't we usually just wave at other people? ok, i admit it, i have a time or two waved at dogs that i've owned. but i just can't think of any other things or creatures that i've waved at.

maybe when i was a little kid, i used to wave at planes. but i think even then i had the vaguest sense that i was waving at the pilot or the people in the plane, and not actually at the plane itself. maybe not. kids are just goofy enough to wave at planes. and i was a real goofy kid.

anyway. for the moment, it's a mystery to me- why people were waving at saturn.
