We've been watching the weather forecasts and satellite images all day
and unfortunately, the clouds and rain predicted for tonight are
beginning to arrive. I can see the bands of clouds on the western
horizon already. So we're officially cancelling our Saturn viewing for
tonight. Luckily, we'll plenty more viewing opportunities in the coming
weeks and months.
If you enjoy weather watching, the National Weather Service website is
fascinating.

Astronomers wepage, too, right next to where we cancelled tonight's
event.
