While watching fireworks over Oak Grove, MO skywatcher Tom J. Martinez was able to catch a glimps of Saturn, Mars and Regulus. The three aligned on the 4th of July. Look to the right of the fireworks in the picture and you'll see three white dots. Those dots are Saturn, Mars, and Regulus. (Tom Martinez)

Ole Snooty obviously has never gotten to know some of our friends and animals up there in the night. About a week ago, a police officer was quoted as saying all the activity he was observing was due to a full moon. The problem was, there wasn't any full moon, as the new moon appeared the third of July. Keep up the good work. Me an' Coby 'preciate it!
