Venus very bright in the sky
If you look in the southwest sky you will notice a very bright Venus. Can't miss it. Was a bit brighter a couple weeks ago but it is very bright. Easy to see from about 5:30 to 10 PM. Mars is just a bit higher and to the left of Venus but not nearly as bright. Jupiter can be seen in the eastern sky in the AM hours, best around 2 AM to 4 AM. Brightest in the eastern sky.

Just came back from grocery store and noticed Venus. Reminded me I was going to post about it about 2 weeks ago and forgot.

Love the Star Chart App on my phone. I can just point my phone to the sky and it tells me what planet / star I'm looking at..

It's free and pretty freaking amazing. Especially on a warm, dark cloudless night.

If you go out and look in the northern sky for about an hour you will see lights moving south. They will be just a bit west of the U of M campus. There might be one about every minute. Not sure which one is Serena but pretty sure it will be one of them. Please report back what you see. 04-cheers

Went outside to look the triangle with Venus and Mars last night.
Weatherman showed it on news last night.
My brother was probably taking pics.
He has some really nice pics of nebulas, stars, and all that stuff.
