Look to Sky for Spectacular Sight Monday
(Nov. 29) - Every once in a while, something will appear in the night sky that will attract the attention of even those who normally don't bother looking up. It's likely to be that way on Monday evening, Dec. 1.
A slender crescent moon, just 15-percent illuminated, will appear in very close proximity to the two brightest planets in our sky, Venus and Jupiter.
People who are unaware or have no advance notice will almost certainly wonder, as they cast a casual glance toward the moon on that night, what those two "large silvery stars" happen to be? Sometimes, such an occasion brings with it a sudden spike of phone calls to local planetariums, weather offices and even police precincts. Not a few of these calls excitedly inquire about "the UFOs" that are hovering in the vicinity of our natural satellite.

WASHINGTON - The USA is officially in a recession that began a year ago, the committee of economists that dates business cycles said Monday. "The committee determined that a peak in economic activity occurred in the U.S. economy in December 2007," the National Bureau of Economic Research said in a statement. "The peak marks the end of the expansion that began in November 2001 and the beginning of a recession."
JPX one thing I love about this blog is your ability to reference or keynote some of the blog posts with just the most kickass pictures. I know that takes some time to do once in a while, image referencing that is, and I certainly appreciate it.
Thanks!
I think what JPX is trying to say is, "Don't worry about the economy, E.T. will save us!" I'll look up at the less-crescenty-than-Monday-night's moon tonight and thank him.
Julie and I actually grooved on the planetary coolness Sunday night. Good stuff.
