Step out tonight (I'm writing this at 9 p.m.) and have a look at the 
moon and Jupiter - both rising in the southeast!  Look at their 
positions tomorrow night too!

And since I have your attention :-)  the Cassini Mission website has a 
great feature written by Todd Barber, our Cassini Lead Propulsion 
Engineer, who often operates one of out telescopes for sidewalk 
astronomy in Pasadena. Todd spent last week at the Smithsonian Folk Life 
Festival in Washington DC, and he shares some of this thoughts about the 
event in a lovely "Insiders Cassini" piece.  The recent pictures aren't 
too shabby either! http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/home/index.cfm
