Jersey Skies: Saturn and the Moon Saturn is moving further west and is therefore rising earlier and earlier. This week is a good one to spot the ringed planet. The gibbous moon will be near the planet on Aug. 11 and 12. Face the southeast sky around 11 p.m. The moon should be obvious as it rises higher in the sky.... Read more »

I can think of one: The Library of Alexandria

When he announced, what, a few months ago, that Starship would go to Mars by the end of 2026 I laughed out loud.

Jersey Skies: The Milky Way spills across the evening sky This is a great time of year to look for the Milky Way. All the stars we see at night of course are part of our Milky Way — the huge collection of gas, dust and stars that we live inside.
