Today's Weather Trivia:

May 10,1853: A family of 7 sailing on Lake Simcoe in an 8-m-long boat was within 8 km of Beaverton, ON, when a squall capsized their vessel. It also carried 2 stoves and other heavy furniture. The father saved himself by means of timber that floated his way, and a young girl's clothes became entangled on the legs of a table, in which condition she floated to shore. The others drowned. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

Sirius, the Dog Star, is disappearing in the evening twilight. It is low in the southwest as darkness falls and sets about two hours after the Sun. It is the brightest star in the night sky, but it is so low in the sky that it might be tough to find .-- [StarDate Online | Weekly Stargazing Tips]
