Actually, I do look up at the sky a lot. Mostly the night sky.

This month in the western sky, you might be able to catch a glimpse of Mercury just after sunset. April 18th will be highest in the sky then it gets lower each night after that. Make sure there are no buildings or trees and you might see the bright "star" in the twilight.

Looking south is the 4th brightest object in the sky. This would be Jupiter.

Around midnight, looking southeast, you will see a trio of celestial bodies that form a triangle. The bright orange one would be Mars. To the left of Mars is bright yellow Saturn. Below both planets you will see a red star called Antares, in the constellation Scorpio. Of interest, Mars is the Roman god of war. Ares is the Greek god of war. Antares is the "Anti-Ares" or "Anti-Mars" because its red colour is similar to the hue of Mars.

One other interesting point about Mars is that next month, during opposition, it will be the closest to Earth in over a decade. The planets orbits around the Sun are elliptical. Earth will be further from the sun in its orbit, and Mars will be closer. Opposition means that Earth is directly in between the Sun and Mars, so when the sun sets in the west, Mars will rise in the east at the same time.

Okay, the geek sermon is over now. I return you to your regularly scheduled Q107 banter, already in progress.

Great info! Thanks

​I had my appointment with the prosthetics clinic & i am feeling much more comfortable now. It was getting difficult getting around. I know my mobility will never be what it once was, but I will take this improvement. There are so many advances that are available now in artificial limbs, however our health care system will be a bit on the slow side of town when it comes to catching up & keeping a bit more up to date.

Have a great afternoon people.

Happy to hear that the visit had a positive outcome. People don't give mobility much thought, until it's affected, so I feel for you @SillyLoocie.
Glad they were able to help you.

Morning Q-sters

Dr. appointment was short but not so sweet on Tuesday...Seems my hernia is not a day surgery type of surgery but a hospital stay kinda surgery...Will this ever end...on a positive note, surgery wound is healing nicely...

Looks like it's going to be a nice one out there...

Oh @rockit - you must be feeling so beat up right about now.
But, all these medical problems HAVE to come to an end soon.
Chin up, things happen in threes, and this surgery will be your 3rd hospital stay.

Ever see a motorcycle parked at the psychiatrist office?
No, cuz the ride there cured him.

too bad, rockit! i hope you can get fixed up and back to normal soon. good thing you were able to get your dad settled into his new place. at least you don't have to worry so much about him while you're looking after yourself.
