Sorry, but with the heavy clouds, significant "chance" of rain, cool
temperatures and wind we're reluctantly cancelling sidewalk Astronomy
tonight! We had to cancel a school star party last night, and had
significant clouds at our Tuesday school star party too.
It has actually just started to rain here in Monrovia at 3 p.m. Our next
Sidewalk Astronomy is May 23, and don't forget June 13, our next Dark
Sky Star Party/campout/potluck at Mojave National Preserve's Black
Canyon Group Campground (near the Hole in the Wall visitor center.
It's also raining at Griffith Observatory, but there are a lot of free
inside events today and tomorrow celebrating the 25th anniversary of the
Hubble Telescope launch - check them out here
http://www.griffithobs.org/. It's also clouded out up on Mt. Wilson
right now!
Instead, you might enjoy some of the Hubble Telescope 25th anniversary
images including this gorgeous just-released image commemorating the
anniversary.

I wish if the rain was going to make us cancel astronomy events, it
would at least be a real downpour!
