Mornings
are equally beautiful, in the stillness of the pre-dawn when the sky is clear.
Orion
is well overhead nearly, perhaps 10 degrees below meridian at 4:00 in the
morning, sitting upward in the southern sky. It’s so dark now, that the Orion
nebula appears within his sword, barely a fuzzy patch of white against the coal
black background.
Jupiter
continues to progress ever counter-clockwise, retrograde notwithstanding. It
has moved closer to the twins and will reside nearby for the next year. This
patch of sky is beautiful now, with Sirius and Jupiter, Orion and Aldeberan,
the Hyades and the Pleides all so close together.
