Try to tune in to another meteor shower (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Neptune at opposition. Mercury passes Spica. Another daytime meteor shower. You may see some meteors early in the morning. But these meteors are mostly entering the atmosphere by day. Maybe you can listen for them on the radio.
Equinox. Equal? NOT! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The moon passes by Venus. Mercury makes headway into the evening. Mars is closest to Pollux. Southern lunistice and lunar apogee. Not everywhere gets 12 hours of sunlight on the equinox. Some places don't get exactly 12 hours at all--ever.
What's in a name? History! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The moon at apogee and heading south. Uranus goes retrograde. Mercury moves toward Venus. What's in a name? Maybe a few thousand years of human oral history. It doesn't seem so now, but Milky Way and galaxy go back to the same origin when people described what they saw in the sky.
Star spangled with Spica (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The moon passes by Saturn. Venus is at aphelion. The moon reaches its farthest north. Venus passes by Spica, whose light left the star around the time of the American Revolution.
A deep partial lunar eclipse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We get a deep partial lunar eclipse this week. Just a little deeper and it would be total. Mars continues making its way through Gemini. Jupiter rises just before the sun. Venus approaches Spica.
