Hi everyone, The weather prospects look good for tonight, so the Sidewalk Astronomers plan to be out on the corner of Myrtle & Lime (Saturday 12/11) starting at 5 pm and continuing until at least 7 pm (possibly later). Likely objects include the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and in the early evening, the crescent Venus. Here are a few helpful astronomy links: Astronomy Magazine "The Sky this week" https://astronomy.com/observing/sky-this-week/2021/12/the-sky-this-week-fro… Sky and Telescope "The Sky this week" https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-decem… Astronomy Magazine "Comet Leonard: View 2021’s best comet"https://astronomy.com/news/observing/2021/12/comet-leonard-view-2021s-best-… NASA What's Up and Skywatching tips https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/skywatching/home/ That's all for now!
