Theologian in Training Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) [quote name='SaintOlaf' post='1848101' date='Apr 25 2009, 09:48 PM']Boo for cloudy skies. [/quote] I saw it, it is the easiest thing in the night sky to find at the moment. It is to the right of Orion, a little below. I have cheap binoculars that didn't really give me anything, just a "red star" so unless you have a high powered telescope you won't see much. BTW, it is close to the horizon and will only get closer (it is setting) so get out there now if you have any visibility whatsoever! Tomorrow is supposed to be even better [url="http://www.hollandsentinel.com/lifestyle/x718268205/Looking-Up-Moon-Mercury-Pleiades-put-on-evening-show"]http://www.hollandsentinel.com/lifestyle/x...on-evening-show[/url] God's great celestial show!

SaintOlaf Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hopefully we can see it tomorrow, we have a fairly high powered telescope. Tonight however was full of rain and storms, not a break in sight. Thanks for the info, Father, I'll keep an eye out for it tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
