Hey there star friends! What s better than
star gazing han solo? Star gazing with friends!

00:07.674 --> 00:11.177 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
Maybe you re on a video call with a friend
down the street, or spending time outside

00:11.277 --> 00:17.884 align:left position:70% line:83% size:20%
with friends -- why not look up? This week I ve
got two things to point out to star newbies:

00:17.984 --> 00:22.055 align:left position:82.5% line:83% size:7.5%
First: Look West anytime after sunset
later this week and watch Moon do a lil

00:22.155 --> 00:26.292 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
scoochie with Mars (what astronomers call
a conjunction). On Friday the moon will

00:26.393 --> 00:30.930 align:left position:80% line:83% size:10%
lead Mars in their path across the sky,
then on Saturday Mars takes the lead!

00:31.031 --> 00:35.502 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
And second: Turn from Mars to the North or
right of Mars and the moon, and you should

00:35.602 --> 00:42.375 align:left position:65% line:83% size:25%
see a giant W in the sky -- that s Cassiopeia! Her
upside-down throne is one of my favorites to spot.

00:42.475 --> 00:45.979 align:left position:85% line:83% size:5%
And if that s not enough: Next week
is a GREAT Lyrid Meteor shower too,

00:46.079 --> 00:50.079 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
so grab a nerdy friend and together (even
physically distant) you can keep lookin up!
