Aodhan oh nice. Mars is a pretty shade of red. Not quite a Betelgeuse but pretty nonetheless.

Aodhan DAMN! Just saw it now. This is the best ever I've seen of it. It's a ruby!

Jez says Yun ba yung malapit sa Orion's Belt? Or yung nasa opposite direction?
Dec 31, 2009 - 12:23AM

Aodhan Near Orion's belt is Sirius (bluish) ... move counterclockwise to the farther one

Aodhan Mars, Sirius and the moon make a large almost-equilateral triangle.
