Listen "Halves and quarters; two bright stars are about to vanish"
Episode Synopsis
Mercury's at greatest elongation this week. Saturn's still up in the evening. Jupiter's about to turn around. Venus and the moon pair with a dragon star. Mars is still missing.
English speakers say the moon is at first quarter or last quarter. People who come from non-English speaking cultures have another view.
It's not often that an asteroid passes in front of one bright star. But it will happen twice next week!
