Stargazing is going to be fun this weekend. The Moon will be right between Jupiter and Saturn and we should be able to see Antares with the naked eye, too! Head out beyond city lights if you can.

It's just not the same without Jack Horkheimer hanging out on Saturn's rings.

Last week I managed to see Antares with the naked eye. I guess my vision is better than I thought.

Also saw Jupiter which of course is much brighter.
