Hello my Starry-eyed friends, I m Trace
and this week we re going on a star hopping
adventure to find the dim constellation Pisces
-- which is playing host to the planet Mars!
Pop on outside around nine and look West. There
you should see the Great Square of Pegasus
asterism, a diamond shape of four bright stars!
Scheat on the right and split the difference
between Algenib and Alpheratz at the top and
left -- you ll run into Mars bright red glow!
Mars is in the middle of the two fish of Pisces
and the Square of Peggy is nestled in it s crook.
The bottom left of the Square faces
the Western Fish! The Eastern Fish
is just above the top left edge of the square --
with a giant celestial string connecting them.
Really quick, here s a little homework: Keep an
eye on the planet Jupiter in the South west, it s
going to meet up with another planet! It ll be a
GAS! wink More Next week and keep lookin up!
