Night Sky Visitors ... The waxing and waning Moon, the sparkling stars and glowing planets impressively promenade across the dark sky partnering with each other. Who is dancing with whom tonight?

I offer the following links to keep you looking up and tuned to the heavens. The focus here is on the Northern Hemisphere, however Southern Hemisphere observers will find celestial gems and jewels here as well.

Enjoy,
Susan Sun
