How unique!
This is a great imagining of a character from my favorite book series.

What’s Up for February 2016?
Five morning planets, Comet Catalina passes Polaris and icy Uranus and icy Vesta meet near Valentine’s Day.
February mornings feature Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter. The last time this five-planet dawn lineup happened was in 2005. The planets are easy to distinguish when you use the moon as your guide. Details on viewing HERE.
If you miss all five planets this month, you’ll be able to see them again in August’s sunset sky.
Last month, Comet Catalina’s curved dust tail and straight ion tail were visible in binoculars and telescopes near two galaxies that are close to the handle of the Big Dipper. Early this month, the comet nears Polaris, the North Star. It should be visible all month long for northern hemisphere observers.
There will be more opportunities to photograph Comet Catalina paired with other objects this month. It passes the faint spiral galaxy IC 342 and a pretty planetary nebula named NGC 1501 between Feb. 10 – 29. For binocular viewers, the magnitude 6 comet pairs up with a pretty string of stars, known as Kemble’s Cascade, on Feb. 24.
Finally, through binoculars, you should be able to pick out Vesta and Uranus near one another this month. You can use the moon as a guide on Feb. 12, and the cornerstone and the corner stars of Pegasus all month long.

Someone should start a knockoff electric car company called “Edison” where they rebrand and resell Teslas
The difference between “woman” and “women” is spelled in the second syllable but pronounced in the first syllable.
If you were born at 1am ET on the East Coast and a baby was born an hour later (11pm PT) on the West Coast, your birthday would be a day after their birthday even though you were born first.
Old Cartoon Network shows (Tom and Jerry, Loney Toons) taught me to appreciate classical music better than most music classes because those pieces become part of our childhood.
