Doing laundry tonight, I noticed Venus casting a
faint shadow of the laundry basket on the outside wall
of the laundromat. So while the wash was ongoing,
I stepped outside. A passerby remarked about that
bright star in the south (around 9 pm) and I explained
that that is Sirius, the brightest real star
in our sky. Orion was out there too, so we covered
Rigel, Betelgeuse and the Belt. But it was too cold
to stay out there much longer. Hopefully my next
report will be with a telescope.
Clear Skies,
Tom Whiting
