Heavenly spectacle tonight, Monday, March 26, 2012

By Tony Harvey

There will be heavenly spectacle to observe in the western sky soon after sunset and better yet once the sky is darkened completely. Given the skies are clear tonight, if one looks toward the west and around 25-35 degrees in latitude, you will see a very bright star which is actually a planet will be Venus and just to the left of Venus will a waxing crescent 4 day old moon.

And around 5 degrees due north or above the moon is the 7 Sisters or whats commonly called the Pleiades by astronomers. Then finally, to round out the conjunction of heavenly objects looking about 10-12 degrees below the moon you can see the largest planet in our solar system Jupiter. Which has been getting dimmer each passing night until it will be lost in the glow of our own star the Sun. -Tony Harvey

Oxalis formal name is Oxalis Triangularis

April Shepperd writes:
The formal name of this plant is Oxalis Triangularis, named because of its leaf shape (almost perfect geometric triangle). It is also known as a False Shamrock, Purple or Burgundy Shamrock. It is in the Wood Sorrel Family. This plant's color shades range from burgundy purple to bordeaux dark red. It is an edible perennial plant eaten around the world. Native Americans used the plant for various reasons including as a medicine, food source and aphrodisiac. The leaves open and close in response to light levels - opening in high ambient light (in the day) and closing at low light levels (at night). --April Shepperd
