Title: Spectacular Sky Show: Venus, Jupiter and the Moon
Post by: mickw on Jan 25, 2008, 14:07:34
Something else for a cloudy night   :(
The most spectacular celestial sights over the next couple of weeks are reserved for the early morning sky. Two bright planets will converge, then be joined by the moon.

I must remember to stick my head out of the window if our pesky cat does her regular trick of thinking it should be breakfast time at 5am!

Sounds worth a look Mick, if only I can get myself up early in the morning and it's not cloudy.

Thanks for letting us know though.
