It rained that day, so it was cancelled.

So now you're glad I got my scope out that night. Pshaw.

For fun, I sent my skymap software to Osaka on the 30th of April. The
thing that's not the moon in the image which claims to be of the moon
and Jupiter is probably Spica in Virgo or perhaps Porriora.

Heh ...

A photo of the recent lunar eclipse was shown on BBC Regional News here.
The weather forecaster said, "and the bright star you can see just *there*
is Jupiter".

Since when did Jupiter become a star?

Who gave permission to move Jupiter from being high up overhead to down low
in the SE sky?

I guess that's why he's doing weather, and not astronomy

It was actually part of Libra ...

Tell you what, how about we let you use your 'scope on days when Major
Earth Threatening Events (That Can Be Rained Off)(tm) are due to take
place?

And Wimbledon, but that's just me being petulant :-)

The web site is actually worth a read - in as much that is really makes you
chuckle. It's the effort that folks put into these things that amazes me.

My favourite is the shocking news that the sky is sometimes red or pink
at sunset.
