Sites to See, February Week 3

An Alignment of Planets http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2012/17feb_winterplanets/ From NASA’s Science News, the brightest planets in the night sky (Venus and Jupiter) are aligning in late February and March this year. Read the story, which tells you that it’ll be a great night to watch THIS Saturday when we have a crescent moon. Here’s a video with more info http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8br4JiFEik.  Might be a good evening to visit the George Observatory out at Brazos Bend http://www.hmns.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107&Itemid=115
