Recently purchase a new TV with “upscaling software” which does an amazing job with USTVnow.com and Slingbox. The 47” TV looks much clearer than before.

BAJA NIGHT SKY #73 for week of February 1, 2015 -- With weather services finally forecasting clear Baja Night Skies, here are highlights to watch for. 1) On Tuesday evening, Feb. 3, this month's Full Moon will rise about 6:11pm. A few minutes later, the solar system's largest planet, Jupiter, will rise just to the moon's left. Rising opposite the sun, Jupiter is at its brightest this month. At 2.5 times as massive as all the other planets combined, Jupiter acts as Earth's guardian. The giant planet's stronger gravity captures many asteroids that might otherwise crash into planet Earth. By 10pm, the Big Dipper will be standing vertically on Alkaid, the star at the end of its handle, in the NE (over Cerralvo in LV/ES). The star Regulus in Leo will sparkle in the east just below Jupiter, and to Regulus' left is the double star Algieba (use binoculars). The Winter Circle made up of 6 of the sky's brightest stars floats overhead, and in the south, Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, hangs high in the sky over Canopus, second brightest star. 2) Also Tuesday, from 6:50 to 6:56pm, the International Space Station (ISS) will make its first bright evening pass this year over Baja Sur. The ISS represents one of the greatest international scientific efforts to date. The first one included a team of French, Spanish and Mexican astronomers who journeyed to Santa Ana, Baja Sur, in 1769 to record the transit of Venus across the face of the sun; the results were used to determine the best estimate then of Baja's longitude and the distance to the sun. Look for the ISS to rise in the SW soon after 6:50pm. Around 6:52pm it will pass just to the SE of Venus and Mars, then pass almost overhead before grazing the star Mirach, in Andromeda, about 6:53pm. It will disappear in the NNE near the star Merak in the bowl of the rising Big Dipper. 3) Ten Million Stars You May Have Never Seen: For a few weeks from 4:30-5:30am (earlier thereafter), a spectacular globular cluster of 5-10 million stars sits 20 degrees above the southern horizon. Look from a location shielded from street and house lights. Measure two fists at arm's length to find a point 20 degrees above the due-south horizon. Use binoculars to scan for a hazy glow about the size of the moon in the region you located. A small telescope will show individual stars around the outside of a compact ball of millions of stars, some of the oldest in the universe. Before the invention of the telescope, this patch of light was thought to be a large, dim star so it was given a star's name, Omega Centauri. Now astronomers know that there is a halo of some 180 globular clusters orbiting around the Milky Way Galaxy. Omega Centauri is the largest and most luminous one. If you spot this luminous patch in the pre-dawn sky, you are seeing an object that is more than 15,000 light years away. For something closer to home, find the two bright stars just above the due-south horizon. The brighter one, Alpha Centauri, is the closest visible star to our Sun at 4.37 light years. At the ISS's velocity of 17,100 mph it would take about 170,000 years to get there. 4) If you are up between 4 and 6am these mornings, J-shaped Scorpious in the SSE is worth exploring with or without binoculars. That bright "star" next to the scorpion's head is Saturn. 5) Last year we visited Rancho La Duna for the first time and I think I saw 1000 stars I had never seen before. The dark sky, along with beautiful setting and hospitality of our gracious host Gabriela, made the visit an unforgettable experience. See the information below to participate in stargazing there this year. Tom in El Sargento at BajaNightSky@gmail.com

Stargazing Nights At Rancho La Duna 30 minutes north of La Paz - Enjoy the sunset and a wonderful evening of wine, bread and artisan cheese. We follow up with a magical guided tour of the stars in our incredible dark desert sky. Tom Spradley, who writes the Baja Night Sky, is our invited stargazing guide. Reservations required, $350 pesos per person. There are a limited number of spaces for guests who wish to stay overnight. For available dates and information on overnight accommodations visit the Rancho's website or contact me at the email address below.
