To use the accompanying chart, go
out within an hour of the times listed and hold the chart above
your head. Make sure that you have North on the chart lines up with
North at your location. The chart will now be oriented to the night
sky and the stars on the chart will closely match those seen in the
sky. The chart is printed for 42 degrees north latitude. If you are
located north of this latitude, stars in the southern horizon will
be lower. If you are far south of this latitude, the opposite is
true. All times are listed in the Central Time Zone. Add or
subtract the appropriate number of hours from the listed times for
your time zone.

SKYWATCH
By J.
DuBois
Down to Earth
Astronomy.
Changing Universe.
I’m
sure that everyone knows the old saying, “There are two things you
can always count on, death and taxes”. There is one more item that
can be added to the list, There is always change in the universe in
which we live.
On that note and due to changes in my universe, I am
announcing to the readers of Skywatch – Down to Earth Astronomy
that I am retiring. I have enjoyed doing the articles for the
past fifteen years and bringing you the happenings in our
night-time skies.
Thank you all very much, and remember... keep looking up.
You never know what you’ll observe and enjoy in the night sky!
