Looking for the Moon and Mercury!
As the Moon revs up for the eclipse, let’s let it guide us around the sky for this last lap before the big day.
Author: Scott Levine
I'm a big, mostly self-taught, astronomy nut and writer in New York's Hudson Valley. When I'm not doing dad stuff, I'm looking to the skies and writing about it. I usually try to keep things light, easy, and fun around here. Oh, and I'm not a trained artist, all of those sky drawings are just my natural talent.

Thanks for stopping by!

Catching Up with Venus and Taurus

At about 9:55PM Eastern / 6:55PM Pacific (1:55 AM Tuesday UTC), Juno will come within about 2200 […]
