Observation (2/17/11)

I went out this morning at 6:10 am on my driveway. The skies were clear. I could see Venus, which was very bright in the south-east. To the right of Venus, I could see Scorpius and Antares. The scorpion was oriented vertically up and down. Up above near the north, I could see the big dipper. As we learned in starlab, I followed the handle and I was able to locate Arcturus which was also bright.
