Subject: Astronomy News Author: Boyd Percy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:30:48 05/26/13 Sun I just read that tonight, Sunday, May 26th after sunset that three planets: Mercury, Venus and Jupiter will be visible in the west forming a triangle. Sure wish I lived in the country where I could gaze at them without too much trouble. I guess Mark up in Spearfish Lake will be out in his observatory.

Not the first time clouds have kept me from seeing something interesting. -- Wes >I just read that tonight, Sunday, May 26th after >sunset that three planets: Mercury, Venus and Jupiter >will be visible in the west forming a triangle.

[> [> Subject: Re: Astronomy News Author: ralph058 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:26:23 05/26/13 Sun It was nice and clear here earlier today. It clouded up and started to drizzle about sunset. I think it is still doing it. The dog was surly about something outside a while ago. So, it may have stopped. It'll probably drift across the lake and get to Wes by morning. >After being relatively clear all day, we now have a >solid overcast in the west.
