An enjoyable look at a beautifully clear pre-dawn sky this morning reminded me that we are able to currently view a loose planetary conjunction, with Venus, Saturn, Mercury and Mars all visible in the dark blue of the early morning sky. Better still, a slim crescent Moon on the 16th will add to this unusual spectacle.

A program being established by NASA will eventually cover and area 10 million times larger than that investigated so far. Using specially designed equipment, it will focus on some 1,000 carefully chosen sun-type stars. The hope is to detect radio signals. The equipment will also scan the entire sky over a wide range of frequencies. Although each point will be observed for only few seconds, the survey will increase the probability that all potential sites for intelligent life have been examined.

I never knew that the Earth had another moon apart from The Moon. But what is this new moon that has decided to steal our already (beautiful) moon of its honour?
