Join San Francisco's "Urban Astronomer" Paul Salazar and KPOO's DJ Marilynn for a guided tour of the glorious night sky.
Just find a dark, unobstructed view of the sky, and tune into KPOO-FM (89.5 MHz) or visit https://kpoo.com/stream with a smart phone. Then, look upward toward the setting Moon, Jupiter, and Saturn, as Mars, the Pleiades star cluster, and the Andromeda Galaxy rise in the east. (Folks stuck indoors or under clouds can participate "virtually" via a free astronomy app such as SkyView Lite.) Stargazing households congregating in backyards and socially-distanced strangers on sidewalks will feel united by the grandeur — and the wonder — of the night sky.
