Monrovia Sidewalk Astronomy tonight cancelled due to cloudy weather

[Jane Houston Jones]

Tonight's weather forecast: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain. Probability 
of measurable precipitation 30 percent. Southeast wind 5 mph. Low 51.

Tonight's Clear Sky Clock shows all white - and that means 90% cloud

Luckily we had two great sidewalk astronomy nights this week.  On 
Tuesday night LA Sidewalk Astronomer Donna Smith and I set up two 
homemade reflector telescopes in front of the Glendale Library.  We 
showed a pretty crescent moon and Saturn to nearly 200 people who came 
to the library either to hear John Dobson's talk or who were at the 
library.. Last night Mojo and I set up telescopes on Colorado Blvd in 
Pasadena, and in-between the passing clouds we managed to have some 
decent moon views to show to the over 200 passersby. By 9 p.m. the moon 
was totally obscured by cloud, so we left early, and it looks like 
tonight will be worse, weatherwise. 

Our next outings, both in Monrovia

Possible: Saturday Feb 3. The moon will be one day past full, and won't 
rise until 7 p.m. so if we do some viewing it will be from  about 7:30 - 
10 p.m.

Confirmed:  February 10 - 76-10 p.m. Special Saturn viewing night from 
about 7:30 p.m.
