This weekend holds excitement in the skies.
An hour after sunset there is a beautiful conjunction with the moon, Saturn and the bright blue star Spica in Virgo.

Saturday night will also feature a meteor shower along with the super moon. The glow of the moon will make the meteor shower hard to see though. Check out the links below for more info – pretty cool.
Running under the super moon. Fun!
