Meteoritos during last week of March
This week has been absolutely fantastic! I have been able to see Venus and Mercury at sunset. And last Thursday. (I think) I saw a falling star slowly drop pass the waxing moon. It had a long tail and was yellowish. I´ve watched Vesta move to the west edge of Leo. I turned off my lights for an hour on Saturday to support the global hour ( http://www.earthhour.org/ )and on Sunday morning woke up to watch 5 hours of a Messier marathon. On Sunday night as Natalia and I were looking through the binoculars at the church bells lit up for holy week, Natalia exclaimed "Mommy look" with a loud exited voice. I grabbed the binoculars and saw 8 pink flamingos migrating to the west wetlands near Isla Cristina. WOW I had to laugh because they look like long pink spaghetti flying over the town. Ok so I used this as an excuse to teach some astro-biology ;) to my daughter. I asked "Do you know why they are migrating at night and how do they know where to go" I then went on to explain to her how to find "Polaris" the north star. Twas a nice evening.
