illustrated drop cap for the letter EEach Friday, the folks at Preachy will offer you something of a reflection for your weekend. This Friday, we present our first Space Object of the Month, in which a Preachy co-editor invites you to learn how to use his telescope (with him):

Items I will try to find: The Conjunction of Mars, Uranus, and the Moon

Why?: ‘Cause they’ll all be relatively close

When: January 21, 2021

Conjunctions have been on our mind of late. Can we help it if the planets are closing in?! This time, Mars, Uranus, and the Moon will all be close by at about the same time. Very detailed viewing instructions are here.
