"On the evening of June 30, you'll see Mars just above and to the right of Regulus, while Saturn sits above and to the left; the trio will resemble an arrowhead that night with Saturn making the arrow's tip.
On the evening of July 1, Mars will appear perched almost directly above Regulus. The color contrast will be quite striking, especially in binoculars: Mars appears yellow-orange, while Regulus is bluish.
On July 5 looking low in the western sky about an hour after sundown, you'll see a waxing crescent moon, with Regulus, Mars and Saturn all oriented in a straight line in that order, from lower right to upper left. Mars will be situated almost exactly in between Regulus and Saturn. On the following night, the moon will have shifted eastward, forming a broad triangle with Regulus and Saturn, while Mars will have moved noticeably closer to Saturn."

OOOHH! I wanna see! I miss watching meteor showers and stuff like that. Do you remember that huge meteor that practically lit up the hole sky and everyone but melissa (uhm, for some reason I'm not sure if that's how you spell her name) saw it because at that exact moment she decided she was done and turned around to get in her truck and leave. I wonder if she still doesn't believe that we all did really see it!
Yes we are! We're coming up for Sam and Kelsey's wedding. We figure it's a good excuse to see everyone. So just make sure people go to their reception!
