Last night we were treated to the Waxing Crescent Moon cozying up to the Pleiades star cluster just after sunset.

A low cloud was kind enough to pass in front of the moon when I took this photo, dimming its glow and revealing the line of craters while the unobscured stars were still shining brightly.

It was a bit cloudy earlier, but just stepped outside and seen Jupiter and Mars, bright as buttons. Orion and the Southern Cross are clearly visible and the Milky Way is sitting above our house 😃.

Close to Orion was Sirius, which was brighter than Jupiter tonight, and I learned that a bright, blue coloured star near Sirius is called Mirzam. 🙂

I've gone recently from never having seen a satellite in the night sky to now seeing SEVEN within minutes, seconds, or less, of the other. Here are some poorly stabilised photographs of the brightest one, with a sneaky second I only noticed when reviewing the photo! Multiple orbital patterns too. I guess I've never gone out and looked up until much longer after sunset until recently.

The night sky, plenty of stars, and a smeared bright yellow line of a satellite in South to North orbit. See if you can spot the other one in a West-East orbit. Don't worry if you can't see it. It's much more obvious in the next photo.
Closer look at the two satellites. One very bright though shakily captured over ten seconds, heading from South to North. The other decidedly dimmer, looking like a worm, inching East from West.

#Stargazing fans, now is the time to go out and look for planets - Saturn will be lost in the glare of the Sun soon. I was out with Frankie the other night and conditions were very clear (for city skies, anyway). Venus is incredibly bright - probably responsible for some UFO reports these days - as is Jupiter. Mars is easy, too. Uranus should be visible in binoculars, just down to the right from the Pleiades.

Teachers, don't wait until spring, they'll all be on the wrong side of the Sun to show your students!

(Pic is a simulation of the night sky over #Ottawa for February 14 - I advanced the time to get rid of the Moon)

A simulated view of the night sky over Ottawa, Canada (approx 45°N, 75°W) for February 14, around 6:30 PM. The bright stars of the "Winter Hexagon" can be seen (Sirius, the stars in Orion, Aldebaran, Capella, Castor and Pollux, and Procyon). An orange line representing the ecliptic arcs from the western horizon on the right, to almost overhead and then down again in the northeast. The ecliptic is technically the path of the Sun through the sky over the year, but also locates the plane of the Solar System where all the major planets can be seen. Along the ecliptic, starting in the west, can be seen Saturn, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars.
