WhiteLight says Dec 30, 2009 11:16PM Philippines to see Planet Mars now, look for the almost full Moon then look Eastward 'til you see a non-twinkling bright red "star"
Aodhan Dec 30, 2009 03:20PM oh nice. Mars is a pretty shade of red. Not quite a Betelgeuse but pretty nonetheless.
Aodhan Dec 30, 2009 03:27PM DAMN! Just saw it now. This is the best ever I've seen of it. It's a ruby!
Aodhan Dec 30, 2009 03:30PM Seen it maybe over 5 of its showings, this one is downright awesome. Thanks!
WhiteLight Dec 30, 2009 03:33PM Check back tomorrow, around 9.30pm while it is still a little bit higher in the horizon
WhiteLight Dec 30, 2009 03:34PM np ^_^ Accidentally saw it while staring at the sky when we were at SM MoA earlier
Aodhan Dec 30, 2009 04:23PM Near Orion's belt is Sirius (bluish) ... move counterclockwise to the farther one
