The Moon bisects some open clusters in Taurus near Venus this week, and Cor Caroli is a neat double star that can help you find a Messier object nearby - even from light polluted areas. Hopefully the weather will cooperate so that everyone will have a chance to check these out. Of course, Mars and Saturn are nicely placed in the evening, so don't miss them either.

Hope you enjoy this week's episode - wishing you clear and dark skies.

Don't make me think about the time difference on Earthshine.

Why not? I thought it was pretty interesting to see "older" and "newer" sunlight simultaneously.

Bill was talking about this Monday after watching the video. I don't want to have to do math while I'm observing.

Paulie, this is all you need to do when observing it, say, "That's cool," over and over and over.

You know, pretty much like every other time we go out and observe. ;D

That's cool.
