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

2
00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:11,177
Maybe you re on a video call with a friend 
down the street, or spending time outside

3
00:00:11,277 --> 00:00:17,884
with friends -- why not look up? This week I ve 
got two things to point out to star newbies:

4
00:00:17,984 --> 00:00:22,055
First: Look West anytime after sunset 
later this week and watch Moon do a lil

5
00:00:22,155 --> 00:00:26,292
scoochie with Mars (what astronomers call 
a conjunction). On Friday the moon will

6
00:00:26,393 --> 00:00:30,930
lead Mars in their path across the sky, 
then on Saturday Mars takes the lead!

7
00:00:31,031 --> 00:00:35,502
And second: Turn from Mars to the North or 
right of Mars and the moon, and you should

8
00:00:35,602 --> 00:00:42,375
see a giant W in the sky -- that s Cassiopeia! Her 
upside-down throne is one of my favorites to spot.

9
00:00:42,475 --> 00:00:45,979
And if that s not enough: Next week 
is a GREAT Lyrid Meteor shower too,

10
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:50,079
so grab a nerdy friend and together (even 
physically distant) you can keep lookin up!
