A friend emailed me to remind me to look at the Astronomy Picture of the Day (see Blogroll to the right) for today’s image (9th July.)
It’s an amazing shot of three ‘stars’ lined up with the moon – two of the stars are in fact planets, ie Saturn and Mars, and the third is a star called Regulus. Also in shot you can see wildfire on the mountains of California.

That’s a great image — I used to check out a picture every day, but never have time now
Have you seen this, by the way? It’s amazing! It shows the Moon passing directly in front of the Earth, a view impossible to see from the Earth itself. And it’s real.
