Mars!

[prog]

Wednesday, Aug. 27 is Mars Night at the Boston Museum of Science. The star party that evening sounds fun, up on the MoS garage roof, weather permitting. Would anyone like to come along? (This is extended to my northern friends whom I harrassed with cell phone calls, disrupting their Hannaford's expedition, the night I first noticed the very-bright Mars dangling next to the Moon, causing them to sacrifice valuable donut-buying time to go outside and look at it.)

(Thanks to magid for the link.)

Mars is seriously kicking some night-sky ass... I noticed that it (and it alone, among superterrestrial objects) managed to burn its light through the thick yellow haze over Boston tonight.

Mmm.

Hmmm. That would be cool, to go to a professional astronomy type thing again, I miss those from UMO and Phoenix's own Museum of Science (I got to know quite a few people there thanks for my Graduate Project that I 1/2 completed there...)

Considering the amount of preplanning this would take and the fact that it would chunk out a large amount of time, I don't think that I would be able to go, however, I would like to hold a starparty up here in WTVL or BGR for everyone to attend and ... let me point out interesting things about the sky. I'm not as good as those projection-jockeys in the museums, but I can get around the sky pretty well, especially since it was you, prog, that showed me your rhyming schema in AST109 to pass Batuski's star-chart exams. Razagetti because Hercules wanted to eat Spaghetti. Classic.
