GOOD DAY STARSHINES TRACE HERE STAR GAZING TYPICALLY HAPPENS AT NIGHT, BUT RIGHT NOW YOU CAN LOOK AT SOME PLANET GAZING IF YOU CAN PULL YOURSELF OUT OF BED BRIGHT AND EARLY!
LET S HIT THE TWILIGHT AT 630AM (HOPEFULLY WITH A MORNING BEVERAGE) IF YOU LOOK SOUTHEAST AT THE GROWING GLOW, YOU SHOULD SEE A BEAUTIFUL CRESCENT MOON AND IT SHOULD HAVE SOME GOOD EARTHSHINE TOO MEANING THE LIGHT reflecting off the earth is shining BACK on the moon, illuminating iT LIKE A BALL HANGING IN THE SKY.
JUST BELOW AND SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT IS ANTARES, ONE OF THE BRIGHTEST STARS IN THE SKY AND THE HEART OF SCORPIUS THE SCORPION.
ABOUT 45 MINUTES LATER YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SPOT MERCURY.
IT RISES VERY CLOSE TO THE SUN MOST OF THE YEAR , EXCEPT AT THE EDGES OF IT S ORBIT CALLED ELONGATION; WHICH HAPPENS LATER THIS MONTH!
GOOD STAR MORNING TO YOU, YAWN AND KEEP LOOKIN UP.
