IYA video

JPL has put together this nice little video as part of their tie-in to the International Year of Astronomy (the 400th Anniversary of Galileo pointing a telescope up into space). The Old Town Astronomers (of which I am a part) is featured. I'm the dorky fat guy in the blue sweatshirt.

Next Sidewalk Astronomy in Monrovia: January 31

Yep, January 3 is officially clouded out. No sidewalk astronomy today.

Our next attempt will be in four weeks, on the Saturday, January 31. As usual, this is the Saturday closest to the first quarter moon.

Weather looking kind of iffy

The weather is looking kind of iffy for sidewalk astronomy in Monrovia tonight. It hasn't officially been cancelled, yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is. Keep an eye on the weather. If the clouds are still hanging around, there'sa fairly good chance it'll have to be called. Sorry, but we can't control the weather!
