Tonight's
Sky
Take time to enjoy the night sky. Each
year the night sky is remarkably the
same like a clock, but just a little
different. Each month shows most stars
and planets in a slightly different
position. Keep an eye on the major
planets and the phases of the Moon --
they move the most. The consistency of
the sky, its beauty and slight
surprises are very relaxing. Athletes
have to rest, too! Check out
StarDate

Texas.
