RECYCLING NEWS: It's Movie Night Under The Stars!! Coming up Tuesday, March 25, East Cape Recycling Baja will present another terrific film: "Dallas Buyer's Club" starring Matthew McConaughey in the lead roll which won him this years Oscar for Best Actor! Also starring Jennifer Garner and Jared Leto (who won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar). This is the true story of electrician and Texas hustler Ron Woodroof who works around the "system" to help AIDS patients get the medication they need after he is himself diagnosed with the disease and given 30 days to live. (This film is rated 'R' so you may want to leave the kids home.) But DO bring a low-backed chair (you may place them anytime after 5:30 to hold your spots) and settle in for a 7pm start. ECRB will be selling their famous theater-style popcorn with real butter and sea-salt, as well as wine, beer and water. A $50 peso (or more!) donation will get you in the door for this fun fundraiser where 100% of our proceeds supports community recycling and environmental education for kids and adults. Grab a date and/or a friend or two and come enjoy a wonderful film! Questions: lynnmirassou@gmail.com
=======================================

BAJA NIGHT SKY #52: 1) A Full Moon rises Sunday, March 16, at 6:44pm. After the moon's top appears, how long will it take to rise? 2) Jupiter is overhead, and Sirius is high above Canopus in the south. 3) Mars will rise about 8:45pm, Saturn about 10:45pm. 4) Did you see the ISS, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars, Antares, Scorpio and Sagittarius Monday morning? Did you spot the star cluster between the last two? In 130 AD, the astronomer-writer Ptolemy described it as "the little cloud following the stinger of Scorpius." With the benefit of binoculars, you can find Ptolemy's Cluster of 40+ bright stars just to the left of the two "stinger stars" of Scorpio. The Butterfly Cluster is just to the upper right of Ptolemy's Cluster. To the unaided eye, both appear as tiny clouds against the Milky Way background. The best time to find them is before 5:20am. 5) If you missed Monday's early morning flare, there is a brighter one tonight at 7:22:42pm (± 10 sec). Look for it high in the north, just to the right of Polaris, but much higher. Set an alarm, or like me, you will forget to look. 6) Finally, welcome to Ranger Gary and his La Ventana Birds report. I got a peek at his Xantus' Hummer suggestion, and found the beautiful bird in El Arroyo de Leon above La Ventana, right where he said to look.             Tom S. BajaNightSky@gmail.com
