Look! Up in the sky?! … No, down on your iPhone. It’s the entire night sky on your iPhone! GoSkyWatch Planetarium is more than a mouthful, and I’m surprised it doesn’t make your iPhone heavier simply because of how much data it contains.

Saturn - upcoming transits

Saturn is getting bigger and higher. The dark spot in Saturn is Titan NOT it's shadow. Titan transits are very rare! And I'm fortunate to be able to view this. There are 3 more transits for the year. The one on February 24 will be a rare quadruple transit!!
