The Night Sky 3/18/11

So I was out the other night with my buddy and we were kind of looking for something to do. I remembered that I had my star charts in my vehicle as they always are and we brought them out and.... looked up. I'm so glad it happened to be a clear night. Very lucky indeed. We saw Orion of course. His belt as distinct as ever. We saw some planes. We saw the moon, waxing crescent, you see. We saw Taurus the Bull and the Hyades and the Pleiades. We saw Monoceros, I think. And Auriga. It was really nice.
