There is a quickening as we near the Vernal Equinox and the beginning of spring on March 20 in Driftless Wisconsin.

Enjoy stargazing with Venus. Our sibling planet, is good evening company the rest of this winter and into the summer.

The January sky glitters with gatherings of stars known as asterisms. Asterisms tend to be smaller than familiar constellations such as Orion the Hunter, Taurus the Bull, and Auriga the Goatherder.

Mars will be glowing like an ember all night long in the December sky as we end 2022. It rises in the northeast at sunset, passes high across the southern sky, and sets in the northwest at sunrise.

On the morning of Tuesday November 8th, we can watch the Full Beaver Moon be transformed as it passes through the shadow of the Earth.

We enjoy awesome starry skies in the Driftless, and fall is an excellent time to be amazed by them. The skies darken earlier and the nights are longer

Earth is enveloped by miles of atmosphere, and the molecules in our sky scatter the light differently depending on its color/energy level.
