Rosemead Park, August 22

The last summer concert in the park is this Friday, so this may also be the last Rosemead Sidewalk Astronomy event for a while. I've got a short post about the actual concert on the Save Our Community website, at http://www.saveourcommunity.us/

Jupiter will be bright and visible in the southwest as darkness falls. This will be our main attraction for Friday (well, I mean, unless you're mainly coming for the music!), although I may try for a few other objects. Venus might also be visible early in the evening, although it will be low and not very interesting to look at.

Rosemead Park is located north of Mission, west of Encinitas and south of Lower Azusa. From the south, you'd go north on Rosemead Blvd and turn right at Mission. From the north, if you're early or late you can turn left on Lower Azusa and right on Encinitas and use the small lot off of Encinitas, or park on Encinitas or one of the sidestreets. Otherwise, you'll likely have to park off of Mission, and possibly even across Mission.
