Observe the Night Sky with your family!
(While Social Distancing)
Find the brightest star. Is it a planet? Can you find a constellation? Can you make a picture in the sky with your imagination?
Moon smiley face
Look up! The Moon, Venus and Jupiter will form a smiley face in the sky! It's kind of a crooked smile this week, but by May 16, 2020 it will look like a true smile! The scientific term for such an event is an occultation (when one object is hidden by another object that passes between it and the observer) and in this case, it happens when the moon is positioned between Earth and Venus. Apparently, it will not happen again until 2065. How old will you be in 2065?
