Sighting the Southern Cross
17 May 2013 | Marathon Florida
George /Sunny/
Getting a chance to see the Southern Cross (Crux) is usually impossible in the Northern Hemisphere but if you happen to be south of 25 deg N and looking to the South, in May, and just after sunset, it is possible to spot it right down at the horizon. Marathon is at 24.7 deg N.
With the help of an i-phone Star Map app, we we able to find it. Due to light pollution, even here in the Keys, it isn't as bright as you might wish but an new observation for us. Apparently we are easily entertained.
By the way, the picture is professional not ours.
