Post Amistad Award Presented by Char Wenger
     For those in attendance and especially to those who missed a very special evening I would like make a statement about this very special honor presented by Rotary.   As one of 2 chosen for the 2013 Amistad Award, recognizing our outstanding contributions to the community, I found myself almost speechless in front of a large crowd of supporters.
     A special gratitude to my beautiful co-recipient, Francis Olachea, for her obvious dedication to her wonderful family and work with the Children's Summer Program, Women's Guild and Association of Arts.  A special thanks for those working behind the scenes with the organization, technical support, set up and break down of the event, creating a seamless evening.
     The night was touching and so special to share with my East Cape Health Center Medical and Dental teams and volunteers.  BUT, most importantly, behind any "strong woman with a cause" is a
wonderful patient and tolerant man on the home front. Thank you Jim Wenger for allowing me to be what I need to be and do what I do everyday to make this place where we live, vacation and play more safe and  secure.

Baja Night Sky: The Winter Hexagon, Orion, the Pleiades, Canopus, and Jupiter,  which were in the east after nightfall in November, are now in the west after dark. Look northeast after 9pm to find the Big Dipper. The arc of its handle points across the sky to Arcturus, third brightest star. If you have a very dark sky and a pair of binoculars, there is a spiral galaxy just below the point half-way between the last two stars of the Dipper's handle, at the point where the two stars and the galaxy form an equilateral triangle. It's a fuzzy spiral the size of the moon in binoculars. Seven to 10 x 50 binoculars open up the night sky to hundreds of star clusters, nebula and galaxies to look at. Smaller sizes work also. They are better than a cheap telescope; anything less than about $300. If you're headed home soon, you can still take another look at stars not visible farther north. The Southern Cross stands upright just above the southern horizon between 12:30am and 1:30am this week. Rigil Kentaurus, the brightest of the two stars just east of the base of the cross, is the fourth brightest in the sky and closest of any star to our solar system at just 4 light years. Sweep the area with binoculars and you will discover a jewel box of Milky Way treasures. By 2am, Scorpius, standing on its stinger with its head pointed at Saturn, is low in the southeast, with Spica to the planet's right. If you're awake that late, and your view to the south is not blocked by walls, lights, or clouds, check the region out. Iridium Flares return Monday evening. There will be two at the same spot, 2˝ minutes apart, the second brighter than anything in the sky. Look for them at 7:36:51pm and 7:39:26pm high in the southeast sky (10 seconds later in LB, 20 seconds  later and extremely bright in Cabo). 
 
You've probably read about the O2Amp glasses ($302 at Amazon) that enhance color vision. Serendipitously, they also correct red-green color blindness that almost 1 in 10 men have. A colorblind Baja Night Sky reader discovered that wearing O2Amps under polarized sun glasses enables you to see the stars in the daytime sky. It looks like there will be no need to give up stargazing for Baja night life. Leave it for no-wind days. With your O2s you can check out stars otherwise lost in the light of day. I'm already working on the first edition of  Stars of the Baja Day Sky for November.  On a personal note, I apologize  to my birthday girl for hiding a romantic full Moon behind the clouds last week. I admit it was a slip up on my part and it won't happen again. Also, apologies to Air-Man Oh (who seems to defy the laws of physics when kiting) for not reporting his discovery two weeks ago of a variable, short period, white and red  double supernova. We were looking at the night sky from my roof-top observatory in El Sargento when Air-Man Oh spotted the two stars exploding into view on the southeast horizon just above the road from Bahia de Los Muertos. Imagine our excitement! Sometimes the supernovae were a blinding blue-white and other times tail-light red with a small Doppler shift that Air-Man Oh caught on his iPhone. Finally, I am sorry to report that this will be the last regular Baja Sky until November. I'm flying to Houston to write and personally deliver a weekly Galaxy Night Sky to crew members of the Space Station. NASA thinks it will sharpen their critical thinking skills as they try to separate fact from fiction.  Until then,  I remain, Yours  Somewhat Truthfully. Tom S.      AFD, APRIL 1, 2m13.  (Thank you Tom and "see" you in November )
