Hello, everyone.
This week is active, hot, and combustible until the weekend when things calm down. Venus gets involved in the Saturn/Pluto square and she can be a fierce fighter herself. Adding Venus to the mix of these two battling titans, plus Mars turning direct, will make for a volatile few days.
Tuesday
On Tuesday, the stand-off begins as Venus opposes Saturn. We’re used to thinking of feminine Venus as a mediator and negotiator, but when she’s in Aries, she can put her dukes up with the best of them. Saturn counsels restraint and caution but Venus is ready to act. Don’t be too heavy handed, especially with your creative staff, or you might get a rebellion you didn’t bargain for.

Wednesday
This is the day we’ve all been waiting for, when Mars returns to direct motion. It may take a few days to really get going, but projects will begin to move forward again. Your energy will return and your competitive nature will flare.
Thursday
As if it wasn’t enough for Venus to take on Saturn, today she engages Pluto with the same fighter instinct. The foe may be more intractable this time though, as Pluto represents the powers that be: government, banks, the economy, and taxes. It may feel like everyone has their hand in your pocket and they may. You’re fighting against the odds, but you may as well go for it. Think “Athena, Goddess of War” and unsheathe your sword.
Sunday
Sunday is a softer, more lenient day and is focused on communication, with the Sun and Mercury joining in Pisces. You can let off a little steam from the pressure of the week and relax. A short trip would be great, perhaps to water, or enter a fantasy world with movies and entertainment. Enjoy the day – you deserve it!
Let me know how your week unfolds.

Well, this turned out to be a great evnnieg observing. I got home at 1am, so that’s alway a good sign the evnnieg went pretty well. Steady crowds all evnnieg. Venus is presenting a fantastic crescent phase to us as it approaches the Transit on June 5th; but it’s also getting low on the horizon so even as I spotted it just after the Sun went down; it was already in the haze. Mars is still a tiny orange dot without much detail (at least not at 100x). Saturn and the crescent Moon on the other had were spectacular. The Moon always impresses; but viewing conditions Friday evnnieg were exceptional for Saturn. The banding on the planet was clearly visible; but even more impressive were the 6 moons I was able to identify. I had to pull out the computer to make sure I was seeing 6 moons. My record for Saturn is 8, so I’m pretty pleased with 6. Most folks couldn’t make out all of them, but several saw at least 4 of the 6. As the crowd thinned out later in the evnnieg, I was able to take the time to show off several other objects of the more fuzzy type. First on this list were M65 and M66, two of the three galaxies in Leo collectively known as the Trio in Leo’. They were hard to see, but then they are something like 39 million lightyears away. Then I switched over to the Ring Nebula in Lyra; a bit closer at only 1400 lightyears, it really popped out in the eyepiece (it almost always does in my scope, not sure why). The folks that got a chance to see it were impressed. I had a request to show some stars, so I put Albireo in the eyepiece, and a little later Vega. Just before wrapping things up for the evnnieg, I was able to snag M104, the Sombrero Galaxy. Again, a faint object with little detail, but it’s 29 million lightyears away. We could just see the dust band in it.As I write this update, it looks like that’s the last observing I’ll be getting in this weekend, maybe longer as it appears we’re going to be getting some much needed rain this weekend.Kevin

Poor old Pluto, getting kcekid out of the planets for being too little and far away, and also for having too many friends. I reckon these characters would make for a nice series of kids’ books!

I think it’s a toss-up between Saturn’s Brilliant Rings and Solar System Book. I rellay appreciate that the option is there to print the book on a lighter background to conserve my printer ink. The Weightless Clothespin looked intriguing but it’s been taken off of the Bill Nye website. Do you have another link for it?

Thank you a lot for providing individuals with an extremely brilliant chance to read from this website. It is usually very sweet and packed with a great time for me personally and my office co-workers to search the blog on the least thrice in one week to study the newest guides you have got. Of course, I’m also certainly fulfilled considering the outstanding tips and hints you give. Selected two areas in this article are indeed the simplest I’ve ever had.
