Star Gazers

HOWDY WINTER STARS, TRACE HERE THIS WEEK THE MOON IS JUMPING OVER THE SEA# MONSTER CETUS AS IT SWIMS THE SOUTHERN.. WE CAN USE SATURN AND PEGASUS TO HELP US# FIND IT!

GET A DARK SPOT AND LETS GO!

HIT THE DARKNESS AT 10 PM ANY NIGHT THIS WEEK# AND LOOK SOUTHWEST - THIS PATCH OF SKY IS PRETTY EMPTY OF BRIGHT STARS, BUT YOULL# CLEARLY SEE SATURNS BRIGHT YELLOW HUE.

ABOVE SATURN IS THE GREAT SQUARE OF PEGASUS.# USE MARKAB HERE - PLUS SATURN TO DRAW A CURVED LINE TO THE LEFT.

THERE, YOULL# FIND DENEB KAITOS - THE TAIL OF CETUS!

DK IS AS BRIGHT AS THE NORTH STAR, WITH# GOOD CONDITIONS YOU MAY ALSO SEE - MENKAR, WAY UP HERE!

CETUS IS THE FOURTH LARGEST# CONSTELLATION IN OUR SKY CONTAINING THE FIRST KNOWN VARIABLE STAR, MIRA - THOUGH YOUD# NEED A TELESCOPE TO SEE THAT.

IN MYTHOLOGY, PERSEUS USED MEDUSAS HEAD TO TURN CETUS# TO STONE; WE FOUND THEM LAST WEEK!

ON THE FIRST THREE NIGHTS OF# THE WEEK THE MOON IS GOING TO MOVE OVER CETUS - KEEP LOOKIN UP!

AS A SUPERMOON!

KEEP LOOKIN UP!
