We are cancelling Sidewalk Astronomy in Monrovia tonight. If you do get 
a clearing, here is a star chart for 5:30 p.m. Pacific Standard Time 
tonight.https://goo.gl/ROgrsB
You could break out the binoculars and try looking at Venus and Mars and 
the moon.  Between the two planets is fainter Neptune. If you can see 
below Venus you canalso try for Comet 45P for about an hour after 
sunset, depending on your location andif you have a flat SW horizon. 
Neptune is blue, comet is needle-shaped with the tail pointing up as it 
is being blown by the solar wind!
We'll have news about our next Mojave National Preserve Star Party 
(possibly April or May), next sidewalk astronomy night, future 
Huntington Garden star party, and the Solar Eclipse next time.  We now 
have about 4 folks from our sidewalk Astronomy family joining us at the 
Idaho Dunes RV Park. Toggle between the map, and the reservations pages 
https://www.idahodunesrv.com/map.php and 
https://www.idahodunesrv.com/reservations.php?month=August+2017 We are 
in spaces 50-56, and you can several nearby spaces available.
Speaking of the Eclipse, NASA's Lunar Reconaissance Orbiter LRO

My two astro products (for my work at JPL) are What's Up and a new thing 
called Ten Things.  It's a list of ten interesting things happening in 
the solar system each week. I sneak in a stargazing "thing" almost every 
week, and this one features all the 2017 Meteor showers, so it's a 
useful bookmark. :-)
