A PLANETARY REMINDER: As the sky fades to black on Friday evening, May
10th, Venus and Mars will pop out of the twilight a mere one-third of a
degree apart. (The tip of your pinky held at arms length is about twice
that wide.) It's a rare opportunity to peer through a telescope and see
two planets at once -- or simply enjoy them with your unaided eye. Look
toward the west after sunset to find the pair.  Visit SpaceWeather.com for
more information and recent images of the ongoing planet show.
