Gregoria Luna's Astronomy Blog

I believe the Moon/Mars conjunction was October 2nd-3rd. Earlier that night I visited my grandma's house and I showed my cousin and my brother some constellations, as well as peeks at Jupiter, Saturn, and Arcturus using the Galileoscope. When we got home we could see the Moon & Mars peeking through the trees, they were very close.

I really like the Galileoscope. It's the only scope I have which can be used with no table, chair, or any surface other than the ground. It has two accessories which are sturdy enough I feel comfortable putting them in my pocket. And it's surprisingly capable for planets.
