January 31st Astronomy night! Orion and the winter stars.

Come at 7.30 pm , we will be around the baobab, bring tea, a sandwich and your binoculars.

We will look for Betelgeuse and the Orion Nebulae, we will try to find Aldebaran and Sirius and we will take a look at Mars.

If you are one of those that likes to wake up early, there is a nice surprise these days in the Gambia sky, from 4am to 7 am you can see Crux, yes, the “Southern Cross” constellation. you can also easily spot Venus and Jupiter.

See below Venus and Jupiter making a line nearly parallel to the horizon.24th January 2019 at 6.00 am
