Clouds in the desert/great free talk Weds nite

[Jane Houston Jones]

Just as I hit the send button, we looked at the Clear Sky chart for our 
desert observing location, and it went from "Clear" to "Cloudy" . :-(

So anyone contemplating a trip to see the stars, let's try again another 
time.  Mojo and I are still heading out to Joshua Tree National Park for 
wildflowers but might do our stargazing at Disneyland tonight instead.  
;-) Do look up tonight! Venus, Moon, Saturn and Mars are waiting!

In addition to sidewalk astronomy next weekend,  here is a great free talk:

"Quest for a living World" moderated by "Bad Astronomer" Phil Plait. It's free and open to the public starting at 7:30 at the Beckman Auditorium. Here's the link http://events.caltech.edu/events/event-7421.html
