Hi everyone,
The weather prospects look good for tonight, so the Sidewalk Astronomers
plan to be out on the corner of Myrtle & Lime (Saturday 12/11) starting
at 5 pm and continuing until at least 7 pm (possibly later). Likely
objects include the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and in the early evening, the
crescent Venus.
Here are a few helpful astronomy links:
