Saturn blowin' in the wind
We got home late last night after Tom and Lana's dance party and I noticed that we had a break in the clouds with Saturn and Spica peeking through. The wind was blowing pretty good but it was warm and I thought I'd take a look at Saturn after its long year off. It has been enticing me the past week, gleaming through my wicked oak tree in back. Tonight it was high in the sky. I hauled out the 8" and there it was! Rings nicely tilted and I spotted Titan right off on Saturn's right. Little Rhea winked in and out of visibility through the turbulence, about half way in between Titan and Saturn. I couldn't see the dimmer moons but they were in close anyway. The wind was trying to blow me over so I quit early. Welcome back Saturn. Goodby Jupiter.
