Asteroid Vesta
Crumby has never got to espy an asteroid, knowingly, ever. Yet anon, meaning within twain hours, an asteroid may be visible in the vicinity of Gamma Leonis. How about that? It is the second or third largest of all the asteroids. It is called, Vesta. How about that? At this very nonce, Asteroid Vesta may be in the neighborhood of magnitude 6. How about that? Rumor has it that Vesta is easily visible right now in bins. How about that? How, about that? Mercy!
Man alive and boy howdy! Crumby may try to see some detail on Mars too. That would also be a first. Yet the night may be too cold for much futile Mars shenanigans. Maybe just Asteroid Vesta, we shall espy.
Important Update: The asteroid known as Vesta, named after the Roman Goddess of the same name, had, by last night, passed an imaginary north-south line between Gamma Leo and 40 Leo, headed west. It was easy to spot in 10x bins. However, it looked pretty much stellar, possible due to the horrific viewing conditions last night. For example, Gamma Leo, the well-known double, was super hard to split because those twain stars resembled an artistic concept of an explosion as drawn in a DC comic book.
Once Crumby noted Vesta, the atmospheric turbulence plus the exceeding cold, all thought of a Mars session flew from his noggin much as a canary might fly out of its cage if the door was left open.
But hark. Tonight is yet another night.
A hard freeze occurred again last night. Did the subject frostweed do its thing? Easy that, yepper do. That makes about nine events.
