Strange Universe With Bob Berman

Strange Universe 6/28/20

Sunset

We’ve always noticed that winter is cloudy. But now we’ll experience the year's sunniest period in our region. We went from being 62% cloudy from November through April, to 63% clear now through October, so let’s focus on this relatively short blue sky period. It lets us enjoy stargazing and moon watching – with the very best time to view the moon happening this weekend, when the half-moon provides stunning contrasts on craters through even the smallest telescopes.
