It doesn't appear the clouds are going to clear for tonight's first quarter moon viewing in Monrovia, so this is the official cancellation. And since next month's first quarter moon falls on the fourth of July weekend we're cancelling those observing sessions, too. Monrovia has a wonderful fourth of July celebration, so for those local to our town, enjoy the fireworks and festivities along Myrtle Avenue on Saturday the 4th. And visit the new Monrovia Library at Myrtle between Palm and Lime Street - it's spectacular! Back to the moon - I just posted my very first astronomy article on my blog. It's called "A day in the life of the moon" and it got me started with astronomical writing , lunar observing and sketching nearly 20 years ago. It's here, along with some other musings and sketchings http://jane.whiteoaks.com/ Jane, Mojo and the Old Town Sidewalk Astronomers Jane Houston Jones Monrovia, CA Website: www.whiteoaks.com Old Town Astronomers: http://www.otastro.org My NASA JPL What's Up podcast: http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/whatsup.cfm Twitter: http://twitter.com/jhjones http://twitter.com/CassiniSaturn Blog: http://jane.whiteoaks.com/
