** Jack Perry asks what the bright object in the western sky was at 6:00 am
on recent mornings. Curt Nason points out that this would be JUPITER setting.
SATURN is appearing much dimmer than Jupiter in the southern sky at
approximately 6:00 am as well. Saturn is only slightly brighter than the orange
super giant star ANTARES below. Curt also points out that Jupiter will be in
opposition to the sun on Friday, meaning that Jupiter will rise at sunset and
set at sunrise.
** I was by Princess Auto on Thursday and stopped to look at the heated dog
dishes Myrna Lamoreau mentioned she found very good as a winter bird waterer.
They looked very interesting and the stainless steel would be very easy to
clean, and the price is right. They come in several sizes. I would think
something placed in the centre might be a good idea so birds could stand there
as well. A photo is attached.
