Hi everyone, my What's Up November video is out, and there is a pretty lineup of moon and planets the next 3 nights, so I thought I'd send out an additional reminder to step out and look up! From November 1^st to 3^rd , catch gibbous Venus (phase visible in telescopes, may look "oval" in binos, the crescent moon, and ringed Saturn together in the southwest sky just after sunset.The prettiest triangle of the three is Thursday night, so go out and practice just after sunset. Then also tonight, there'sa very good pass of the Chinese Space Station just after 7:00 PM for SoCal. This is probably the last real opportunity to see Tiangong 2 while the Chinese astronauts are still onboard. Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong are half way through their month-long flight. The station reaches 10 degrees above WSW horizon 7:06:53 p.m. (Very near the moon/Venus/Saturn trio) Maximum altitude 67 degrees NNW at 7:09:57 at magnitude 1.2, brighter than the most of the stars it passes until it disappears into Earth's shadow near fainter Cassiopeia stars. Let me know if you see it!! There are also some famous meteor showers -- famous from past outbursts, but rates will be lower due to bright moons nearby, but still any chance to see a Taurid on the 12th, a Leonid on the 17th or an Orionid on the 28th, is worth it if you are awake and the sky is clear on or near the peak nights! Mojave National Preserve Star Party is this weekend! RSVP here on the Facebook Event - or ask me for phone/email to RSVP https://www.facebook.com/events/310376066006443/ Eclipse info - no new news, but some of your fellow members of this email list have reserved two of the camper sites next to us in St. Anthony ID, and there are plenty more sites available. Info was on the last email. And the Idaho Museum in Idaho Falls will have some cool exhibits (and speakers :-) the day before the eclipse) It's gonna be epic!!
