I write down the really important stuff, so I don’t miss
anything. For example: the Perseids and Geminids (July/August and December
meteor showers) will most likely be a bit less impressive in 2014 because the
moon takes a bit of their thunder. But the Quadrantids (Are you impressed that
I know how to spell that?) due January 3 might just be worth watching this year.
If you spot the moon during the day
February 26, see if you can find Venus right next door. If you don’t live in
the shadow of eastern mountains, you can watch Mars rise just as the sun is
setting April 8. Just before dawn on August 24, you might catch a smiley face
in the sky with Jupiter and Venus as eyes and a crescent moon for the mouth.
There won’t be any total solar eclipses in 2014, but most of North America will
see a partial eclipse October 23.
