MONDAY NIGHT SKY SHOW: When the sun sets on Monday, Oct. 26th, go outside and look south. Jupiter and the Moon are converging for a beautiful conjunction. The bright pair can been seen even through thinly-clouded skies and city lights. Don't miss it!

Will that be visible in the Southern Hemisphere night sky?
(The last 3 nights we've watched the ISS scooting along overhead - the last a great 4 minute traverse.
It's the most brilliant object after the moon, and man, it really motors! )

Thick overcast and rain here, pretty much the norm when anything spectacular is happening in the sky.

Luckydog, thanks for the HU. I actually got see this phenomenon on my way to PA last night, and I was awed by how bright it was. I tried to snap a pic with my camera phone, but the results were horrible...

Oh sure....rub it in why don't ya!! :mixedsmi:

Enjoy it while you can Pennsylvania Boy. In a month you're going to be freezing your buns off and I'll still be running around in my SHORTS!!

Unless of course if you're just visiting PA on your way to the Bahamas...in which case....never mind.:pop4:

Glad you got to see it though....must have been neat.

It was cool, TeaSea.. Usually, I miss all the great stuff that the night sky has to offer, if only because my truck doesn't have a sun/moon roof. It's a good thing, though, because it keeps my eyes on the road....most of the time, anyway... I live in the NC mountains, so it's about the same as PA in temp... I wish I was on the way to the Bahamas, too. The bright spot is my work carries me to FL for much of the Winter and Spring, so I get to keep my shorts on most of the time, too. Heh,heh!
