This evening, we're in for a visual treat. The full moon will rise flanking Mars. As the following diagram shows, look ESE around sunset. If skies are clear, you'll easily spot them. Last night, I was able to see Mars glowing brightly about ten degrees below the waxing gibbous (nearly full) moon. The above diagram… Continue reading Moon-Mars Rise

Ever Expanding
Tomorrow evening just past 5:30 CDT, Mercury ends his backward motion.

This Mercury station makes nearly an exact square to my natal sun (at 5 degrees 24 arc-minutes Gemini). Within the… Continue reading A Question of Identity
A Grand Slosh
Many years ago, I went water skiing for the first and only time. A friend had invited me for a weekend trip. If I remember correctly, we hit the lake three times that weekend: Saturday late morning, once more before dark, and then Sunday before the long drive home. The most memorable of the three… Continue reading A Grand Slosh
