May 20,2007: Following a spring storm that dumped up to 50 mm of ice on homes and power lines on Newfoundland's Northern Peninsula, 1,300 people were left without power for more than 3 days. High winds and the freezing rain downed poles and wires and pulled electrical meters off homes. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada

Sky Events:

ISS(visible): No visible sightings for the next while because the ISS is  passing over our area before sunset.

The first-quarter Moon forms a wide, skinny triangle with two bright companions tonight. Regulus, the brightest star of Leo, the lion, is to the upper right of the Moon, with the orange planet Mars farther to the Moon's right. They are high in the sky at nightfall and set by around 2 a.m.– [Star Date Online]

 

AURORA WATCH: Sky watchers should be alert for auroras tonight. Earth is entering a high speed solar wind stream, and this could cause geomagnetic storms at high latitudes.
