Ack! It's Wednesday. Oops.

What's your favorite astronomical item? (As in, planets, stars, comets, nebulae, et cetera.)

Jupiter. I can recognize Venus, Jupiter and Mars by naked eye. Have yet to locate Saturn, may not be dark enough in town. Uranus and Neptune are both probably not visible to the naked eye, although I'm hoping to be able to pick out Uranus with a good pair of binoculars this fall when it is at opposition. Also hoping to pick out the Galilean moons of Jupiter using the Binocs this summer.

Asteroids. I believe they wear belts. How cool is THAT!
