HEY HOWDY STAR GAZERS, TRACE DOMINGUEZ HERE.

THE SKY CHANGES CONSTANTLY.

PLANETS SHIFT.# THE MOON MOVES.

STARS RISE AND SET.

HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE WHERE SOMETHING# IS IN THE SKY?

WE HAVE A PLAN.

THE FIRST IMAGINARY MARK IS THE ZENITH; THE TOP# OF THE SKY.

ALL THIS WEEK AT FOUR THIRTY AM, VEGA IN LYRA THE HARP WILL BE NEAR THE ZENITH.

YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW THE ECLIPTIC.

OUR SOLAR# SYSTEM IS A SPINNING DISC WITH PLANETS TRAVELING ALONG IT AND THE SUN IN THE MIDDLE.

THE# ECLIPTIC MARKS THAT PLANE IN THE SKY!

ALL WEEK AROUND SUNSET VENUS# WILL FOLLOW THE SETTING SUN, WITH JUPITER FURTHER UP THE SKY.

IF YOU DRAW# AN IMAGINARY ARC THROUGH THE PLANETS, TOWARD REGULUS AT THE BASE OF LEO’S SICKLE, AND PAST# BLUE SPICA IN VIRGO - THAT ARC IS THE ECLIPTIC!

IF YOU KNOW WHERE THIS IS YOU CAN FIND PLANET# CONJUNCTIONS, MOON PHASES AND BIG ECLIPSES BECAUSE THE SUN, PLANETS AND MOON FALL ALONG# THE ECLIPTIC.

NOW YOU KNOW, KEEP LOOKIN’ UP!
