Sky stuff

Get up early for some neat stuff in the sky, tomorrow morning, November 5. In the east, you should see a crescent moon, with Venus to its left shining brightly. Above them will be Saturn, and above Saturn, Mars. In the western sky, look for a soft fuzzy ball of light about half the size of the moon in appearance. That's a comet that exploded October 23, and it's expanding as it moves away from us. All you need to make it complete is a spaceship or two to go by - and we have that, too. The International Space Station and a Space shuttle will be flying overhead and lit by the morning sun before it rises for us, rising from the southwest and flying toward the northeast. It should appear at 6:20 am and go out of sight at about 6:25
