After the sun sets tonight, go outside and look south. You'll see Saturn, the Moon, and the star Regulus gathered together in the form of a triangle. With the bright Moon to guide your attention, Saturn is easy to find. Got a telescope? Point it at Saturn and see the planet's rings.

You might be able to catch a glimpse of the International Space Station passing low in the southwest sky tonight at 8:00 pm. This looks like it will be the last time it will flyby until at least April 24th. But don't despair, because if I have anymore trouble replacing the power steering pump on the wife's Jeep Cherokee today, I'm going to blast that S.O.B. into orbit and we'll be able to watch it flyby!
