Leo And Other Bright Stars Shine This Week

Laptop Battery The end of April and first two weeks of May often bring New Jersey some of its clearest days and nights. If we do have such weather this week, bright moonlight will not overwhelm the sight of thousands of stars.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Microsoft Of course, it is still vital to try to get away from city light pollution - many miles away, if possible - if you want to see the splendor of the starry heavens. Locally, we are seeing some efforts to actually limit or reduce light pollution, a topic I'll explore in an upcoming column.

Saturn will be high in the southwest at dusk. Keeping it company will be the constellation Leo the Lion, including Leo's brightest star, Regulus, a short distance to the right (west) of the planet. Saturn's biggest and brightest moon, Titan, will be north of the planet on May 12 and 28, and south of it on May 4 and 20.

Laptop Computers But today, let me limit my discussion of starry sights to some that can be glimpsed through even moderately bad light pollution - the brightest stars of spring and Leo the Lion.

laptop computers is driving strong sales for notebook computers, according to the latest quarterly sales figures from the research firm IDC, which reported a 37% computer sales for the second quarter, compared with a year earlier. In the U.S., laptop sales grew 17.7%, while sales of desktop computers and servers fell 4%. The New York Times ( 10), CNET ( 10)

Laptop Computer Try going out at about 9:30 on nights this week. The brightest point of light in the sky remains the planet Jupiter, which at this hour is moderately high in the west. Well to the left (slightly upper left) of Jupiter, in the southwest sky, shines one of the brightest stars, although much dimmer than Jupiter.

Desktop Computer This star is Regulus, whose name means "the little king." Reglus shines in the constellation of the king of beasts - Leo the Lion.

Notebooks Reglus marks the heart of Leo and, if you look closely, you can trace a hook of stars upward from Regulus to form the outline of the Lion's chest, mane and face. This hook is sometimes called "the Sickle," with Regulus marking the handle end. Or think of this pattern as a backward question-mark, with Regulus as the dot at the bottom.

Lenovo The hindquarters of Leo is an only modestly bright right triangle of stars. Look for it to the upper left of Regulus at this hour, more than one fist-width at arm's length from the bright star.

Hard Drive If on a clear night this week even the Sickle of Leo is hard for you to see, you must have a serious problem with light pollution - excessive or misdirected outdoor lighting which does no one any good.

Travelstar But perhaps you can still detect the spring sky's very brightest stars and star patterns.

Gateway The brightest and most famous star pattern that is well placed in spring is the Big Dipper. It hangs prominently high in the north on April and May evenings. Extend the curve of the Big Dipper's handle outward and it will bring you to the single brightest star of spring - Arcturus. Can you tell that there is a little bit of orange in its light?

Laptop Parts If you continue the curve, your eye eventually comes to the rather brilliant star Spica, partway up the south sky.

Software You will notice some bright stars shining in the west and northwest but they will be setting by late evening. In the northeast there is a bright star that is ascending - Vega. This sight of Vega coming up is a harbinger of the summer evenings when it will shine high overhead.
