International Astronomy Day - April 21st

Hmm, looks like I beat Denny to the punch on this one. Its International Astronomy Day. Here’s what’s going on in Canada: Royal](http://www.rasc.ca/astroday/index.shtml%22%3ERoyal) Canadian Astronomical Society. What’s going on in your little world?

That kind of information takes three weeks by subspace transmission to reach my little world, so I won’t know about it untill mid May.

:laughing: just in time for

seen one on each of the last two nights

The big thing here to watch for tonight is the crescent moon in the west hanging over a very large Venus. There’s supposed to be one of the oldest known comets on the extreme western horizon just after sunset - maybe a half hour window to see it. Can’t remember the name … Eke? Ikeya? Something like that.

I suppose a bit o’ them Lurid meteors might be nice, too.

way cool!

The moon & Venus were great…facing the wrong way in the hot tub though… :blush:

That half hour from sunset was so months ago. :smiley:

You’re so spoilt! :stuck_out_tongue:

Looks like there’s an aurora alert for April 21 and 22. Of course, Denny’s seen them all before, too. :wink:

Leos love spoilt!!!

:laughing: too south and too close to civilization here…

Missed McNaught, we’re on an east facing hill and sundown is chore time.

You SAW that? It looks like a giant pin, or a one sided Q-Tip under the moon. Why is it there? I know, I know…click the picture :stuck_out_tongue:

I clicked the picture, and it still looks like a giant one sided Q-Tip to me.
