Moon Image brought to you by Comet. This Sky Watching season think COMET for Out-of-This-World-Clean!

C/2022 E3 was closest to earth on Wednesday (Feb 1).  - it can be seen high in the north (so Canada has a great vantage point). - they say it's hard to gauge how bright comets will be, so they couldn't predict how well the thing would show up. - If you miss this comet you'll have another chance to see it in 50,000 years. - how to view: you should be able to see it with binocs... you can use the website ( TheSkyLive.com ) to get situated... when I typed in Moncton this is what popped up... VISIBILITY RIGHT NOW C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is above the horizon from Moncton (CA) [ change ]. It is visible looking in the Nort

The folks at Shubenacadie Provincial Park are handing things over to the heavy hitters in Weather News... shadow schmadow! watch for the Crocs Fact: Groundhogs have a worse weather predicting record than random chance.

They asked for sleep. Sleep is what they asked for. And maybe some Ol Red brand Gopher Nugs© (*affiliate link) That being said, we all love a good Groundhog Day celebration. and now, Better Know a Groundhog: - Shubenacadie Sam (obvious) - Phil - Dunkirk Dave - Buckeye Chuck - Staten Island Chuck *might be the most accurate   - Chuckles IX - Chattanooga Chuck (R.I.P.) - Thistle the Whist
