It's been a marvellous few weeks for sky watching. I've gotten a real thrill watching ISS sail across the sky. The Jupiter/Venus/moon conjunction was stunning. Even now with the moon now part of it, the two stars are beacons.

Mars is always a treat & I love when it's near Betelgeuse... they're pretty close in colour, if not size.

That should be a nice conjunction tomorrow & coming on the heels of a sunny, spring-like day... wow!
