Gunther is making really good progress but still needs blood, I would encourage anyone that can donate type “O Negative” on Monday in La Paz or San Jose to please do so as he still needs more blood.  For anyone unclear about what has happened I’ll try to explain as clearly as I can.   He had bled out internally through his intestines and lost a tremendous amount of blood and almost died.  It was discovered that he had ulcers in his stomach (he was unaware of this and never experienced any pain).  He has been in ICU at Amerimed in San Jose since last Friday and has received two transfusions, one on Saturday which consisted of 3 pints of blood and one pint today (Sunday).  He is looking so much better and is in good spirits.  Initially when he was admitted his hemoglobin was at 5, then after the first transfusion it was at 5.7, and after today's transfusion it was at 6.7, normal is somewhere around 14.  Over the next couple of days they will do a CAT scan on his stomach and biopsy the tumor(s).  Thank you all for pulling together to help save my husband, I especially thank Char Wenger because I truly believe that she saved his life.  Susan Ballier

=================================================

The Baja Night Sky -- December 31- Jan. 3. The ISS will pass overhead on Tuesday, December 31. It will rise in the NW at 6 pm and pass near the bright star Vega about 6:02:30 pm and continue across the sky towards the SE for 5-6 minutes more; times are the same in Los Barriles. Check out Vega when the ISS passes nearby. Its brightness is the standard for visible stars. Assigned a magnitude of zero, Vega is about 100 times as bright as a star with magnitude 5, probably the faintest star most of us can see in a Baja dark sky. This week Vega is about the same altitude as Venus, but in the NW sky opposite Venus in the SW. At magnitude -5, Venus is about 100 times as bright as Vega.

The Dark or new moon occurs at 4:14am on January 1 when it is between the Earth and Sun . In some religious traditions, the month begins when the young crescent moon is first seen by at least three people. Dusk on Wednesday provides an opportunity to re-enact this ancient tradition when the new moon is only 13+ hours old. You will be 1 in 100,000 if you spot it. Go outside about 5:15 pm, or soon after sunset Wednesday evening. Start watching above the sunset point. Binoculars will help. Two other things should help. The crescent moon is about 8 degrees (less than a fist) below and slightly to the right of Venus. In addition, it is at perigee, its closest approach to earth, which will make the crescent larger than normal. If you don't see it on January 1, try again on the 2nd, but just above Venus. Either evening it should be a spectacular sight.

Flare. Wednesday evening an Iridium satellite will flare briefly at 6:13:07 pm in the SSW about 30 degrees above the horizon. Quadrantid meteor shower. Several people reported seeing 5-6 meteors per minute during December's early-morning Gemini shower. The Quadrantids average about 1 every few minutes. It peaks Friday morning, January 3, between 4 and 5:30 am. Watch the entire sky, but especially the northeast where the radiant is located; this meteor stream sometimes peaks a day early, so if you rise by 5:30 am Thursday, check then also. Venus is only visible for another week before it disappears into the sun's glare. Its crescent is getting thinner and longer making a beautiful view in binoculars or telescope.
