Heads up! On Saturday and Sunday mornings, before the sun rises

and while the sky is still fairly dark, grab a pair of binoculars and head out under the stars. If you've never spotted Uranus before, now's your chance. Bright, reddish Mars will guide you to the 7th planet. 🌌

Good! I'm often up then too, having not gone to bed, so catch the moon (and some stars.) elleng Jul 2022 #2

Thanks!

I'm always up around 4 -5am and I often go out and look at the stars and whatever else is out there. Once in a while I catch a passing of the ISS.

NEW moon now, so nothing's been happening. Will look tonight. Don't think I've caught ISS, but maybe I have.
