What's Up for February? The moon! I hope you all get a chance to step outside tonight after sunset and enjoy the beautiful view of the moon and Venus! And just in time for the moon view, My what's Up podcast is all about 400 years of lunar observing, as much as can be condensed into 2 minutes :-). You can find it here on the JPL website: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/video/index.cfm?id=818 and here on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCa0hw0z_TI&feature=channel_page It's been a busy few weeks for sidewalk astronomy - Solar telescopes at Arroyo Vista school last week, planet and cloud-penetrating telescopes at La Fetra Glendale's Science Fair on Tuesday night. And four more school events next month! Tonight Farnsworth Park in Altadena - you are welcome to come look through our telescopes if this is convenient 6-8 p.m. March 6 and 7 will be our sidewalk astronomy nights. These are all up on our website with February and March observing tips. http://www.otastro.org/ March 22nd is Super Science Sunday in Thousand Oaks - a day of science activities, talks (I'm one of the speakers) and telescopes! Thos with telescopes can volunteer to help out, tho it's a bit of a drive. I'd put you in touch with the coordinators if you are interested. http://www.discoverycntr.org/pages/events/sss.htm See you out under the moon this month!
