Early Spring celestial wonders await 606 Trail visitors

A razor thin Crescent Moon and reddish Mars will shine low in the west after sunset. The Pleiades open star cluster displays it’s gems on black velvet, followed by everyone’s favorite constellation Orion the Hunter, riding high in the south and containing the ghostly wispy remnants of a long exploded star. Sirius, the dog star, glistens like a silver diamond and the Constellation Gemini up high, with its visual binary star system Castor and Red Giant Pollux. Another Red Giant star Aldebaran in Taurus, joins in.

These celestial objects, (and more) targeted via telescopes and urban skies guided by astronomers.
