Greetings fellow astrophile! It is looking like a near-perfect evening for nighttime observing, so we will be opening Darling Hill around 7:30 p.m. tonight. No ISS fly-bys are predicted for the next few days, but Venus, Mars, and Saturn are prominent in our sky – Saturn being particularly brilliant at its current orientation. It is also looking to be a bit on the cool side tonight (40s?), so do consider bringing an additional layer if you’re going to be up late. We hope you can join us!
Greetings fellow astrophile! The May 2012 Astronomical Chronicle is up in plenty of time for our next Public Viewing Session this Friday, May 11 (as always, check the website by 5:00 p.m. on Friday to confirm we’ll be opening). And, if you’re reading this in time, don’t forget to give the Moon your undivided attention at 11:35 p.m. tonight.
Greetings fellow astrophiles, The sky appears to be a go for observing tonight. Mind the temperature!
