The Final – Well, You Know…
by John Weckerle
The last couple of nights have brought us some wonderful starscapes in the New Mexico Central area. Such skies are for watching, and if you’re watching, you may want to do so at 8:30 this evening. That’s right: the International Space Station will be gracing our skies over the next few nights. For viewing times, see the schedule, which gives both the time and the direction in which to look. Enjoy it while you can, folks; there’s another storm on the way.
Let’s All Take A Break For A Well-Deserved Howl

Fell voices drifting through the night? Maybe so, and maybe not – but regardless, tonight is the Wolf Moon. This month’s “full” moon is closer to the Earth than it will be at any time in 2010.
Enjoy it while you can, folks, because this precious resource is on its way. The Moon is moving away at 1.6 inches every year. For those who didn’t get a chance to see it, we took the New Mexico Central camera outside and took a shot.
