In like a lion, out like a lamb
Posted in Current Events, General, Stargazing on March 23rd, 2010 by Peter Lipscomb“In like a lion and out like a lamb” an old weather proverb with astronomical origins nicely describes our night sky this month. At nightfall, we find the dim constellation Aries, the ram or lamb, close to setting above the western horizon. To the east, the constellation Leo is just starting its seasonal reign bringing us warmer evenings and later sun down times. The sky in the direction of Leo harbors a number of bright stars, interesting spiral galaxies.
