See Saturn on NYE!

[Jo]

Is getting closer every night this week. You can see it, easily, in the constellation Gemini. At the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/12dec_saturn.htm

My Grandpa built himself a telescope like 10 years ago, I asked him whether I could have it now. He said he was gonna check it and see if it was still ok, and then he'll give it to me
Weeeeeh!

@ Aragorth Thanks for the info, where do I look?

radiant is aproximatelly 60° above East skyline nearthe constellations of Dragon, Herkul and Volar. hope you can find it. its pretty easy actually. the only bad thing is that there will be full moon almost all night, but an hour or two before sunrise it will be just dark so lets hope to the best
