M44: The Beehive Cluster
Image Credit & Copyright: Drew Evans
Explanation: A mere 600 light-years away, M44 is one of the closest star clusters to our solar system. Also known as the Praesepe or the Beehive cluster its stars are young though, about 600 million years old compared to our Sun’s 4.5 billion years. Based on similar ages and motion through space, M44 and the even closer Hyades star cluster in Taurus are thought to have been born together in the same large molecular cloud. An open cluster spanning some 15 light-years, M44 holds 1,000 stars or so and covers about 3 full moons (1.5 degrees) on the sky in the constellation Cancer. Visible to the unaided eye, M44 has been recognized since antiquity. Described as a faint cloud or celestial mist long before being included as the 44th entry in Charles Messier’s 18th century catalog, the cluster was not resolved into its individual stars until telescopes were available. A popular target for modern, binocular-equipped sky gazers, the cluster’s few yellowish tinted, cool, red giants are scattered through the field of its brighter hot blue main sequence stars in this telescopic group snapshot. Dramatic diffraction spikes highlighting the brighter cluster members were created with string crossed in front of the telescope’s objective lens.

Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM EDT today (2:30 PM to 5:30 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Aries into Taurus.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This morning you’re in practical frame of mind and full of common sense. You might talk to someone older or more experienced who has good advice for you. (Possibly, you are the wise person advising someone else.) This can be a productive day for you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is an excellent day to do research because you have the patience and perseverance to dig for what you’re looking for. You will pay attention to detail and you will leave no stone unturned. With this attitude, you’ll get great satisfaction from your accomplishments.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
A discussion with a female friend or a member of a group might yield some practical advice or some important knowledge today. After all, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Listen to what someone has to say because it will benefit you. It might affect your future goals.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
It’s curious but details about your private life might be public, or at least available to some people today. This might relate to your dealings with a parent or your relationship to a boss or someone in a position of authority. If you speak up, you will be heard.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today you have a strong desire to “get away from all this.” You need time off for good behaviour. If you can’t travel somewhere, then at least, go somewhere you’ve never been before. You will enjoy discussing philosophy, religion and politics in a serious way today.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You’ll make great headway today if you tackle some paperwork or red-tape details related to taxes, debt, insurance matters, inheritances or shared property. The reason you will get a lot done is you are focused and in a practical frame of mind.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
It will be in your best interests to cooperate and get along with others today because for most of this day, the Moon is opposite your sign. This means you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Meanwhile, someone might have advice for you about children, pets, sports or vacation plans.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today your approach to your job (or your health) will be straightforward and practical. In fact, you will prefer the company of serious people because you have a sincere concern for your duties and obligations to others. Oh yes; you will deliver.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Children might be an increased responsibility today, if so, you will take this seriously and do whatever is necessary. Meanwhile, this can be a productive day for artists and those of you interested in creative projects because you’re willing to do the grunt work that is always part of the job.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today you will be somewhat reserved, especially talking to female relatives. You’re not in the mood for frivolity. Instead, you will welcome being alone with your thoughts and feelings today. Nevertheless, be open to the advice of someone more experienced.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is a good day for serious discussions with others because you want to tackle down to earth, common-sense problems. Someone older might help you. Or they might steer you in the right direction? You’ll be thorough in whatever you do.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
When it comes to financial matters today or shopping, you will be thrifty. “A penny saved is a penny earned.” (If you save a little every day, at the end of a year, you’ll be surprised at how little you have.) Nevertheless, respect your money today.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor, comedian Jerry Seinfeld (1954) shares your birthday today. You are imaginative and inventive. Even though you are conventional in many ways, you are also unconventional in a slightly rebellious way. You have a witty take on life. This will be a social, fun-loving year for you. Your creativity and zest for life will be strong! Enjoy your increased popularity!

Portrait of NGC 3628
Image Credit & Copyright: Wilhelm Michael Kasakow, Olaf Guillaume
Explanation: Sharp telescopic views of NGC 3628 show a puffy galactic disk divided by dark dust lanes. Of course, this portrait of the magnificent, edge-on spiral galaxy puts some astronomers in mind of its popular moniker, the Hamburger Galaxy. It also reveals a small galaxy nearby (below), likely a satellite of NGC 3628, and a very faint but extensive tidal tail. The drawn out tail stretches for about 300,000 light-years, even beyond the upper left edge of the frame. NGC 3628 shares its neighborhood in the local universe with two other large spirals M65 and M66 in a grouping otherwise known as the Leo Triplet. Gravitational interactions with its cosmic neighbors are likely responsible for creating the tidal tail, as well as the extended flare and warp of this spiral’s disk. The tantalizing island universe itself is about 100,000 light-years across and 35 million light-years away in the northern springtime constellation Leo.

Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Aries.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today you want to know what’s going on financially, especially behind the scenes. You want information about cash flow – where it’s coming from and where it goes. You also want to know how to use your wealth and assets to make your life easier.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You’re powerful today because Mercury in your sign is lined up with Pluto. This gives you almost X-ray vision. (Oh yeah, you will easily see the subtext of things.) You will know if someone is lying to you or misrepresenting the truth.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today your ruler Mercury is dancing with Pluto, which gives you a powerful mind that can turn inward. That’s why this is a good time to look inside yourself at a deep level to try to understand yourself better. You are intrigued with mysteries and hidden knowledge. (“I see dead people.”)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You might attract someone powerful to you today. However, more likely, you are the powerful person dealing with others whether on a one-to-one basis with a friend, or dealing with a group or an organization. Today you will rally your forces and set them marching!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Discussions with bosses, parents and people in authority will be powerful today. You might influence others or in turn, someone might influence you. If you have an idea that you want to share, you might be a bit obsessive about it. People will listen because you’re a natural leader.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a wonderful day to study or learn something because you want to know what goes on beneath the surface of things. You’re attracted to mysteries and problems and hidden dimensions. It’s an excellent day to learn something new and have profound discussions with others.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You might give serious thought to your finances, especially your shared wealth with others, which includes your debt. You might also give more thought to wills, inheritances and estates because you want to get to the bottom of things so that you have a true grasp of a situation.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You might be obsessed trying to convince someone about something today. Or vice versa, you might attract someone to you who is pushy in their views? One thing is certain, you have the ability to have a strong effect on others today. Use this wisely.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today you have the ability to see how to introduce reforms at work and how to do your job better. You might also see how others can do their job better. In the same vein (the other arm), you might see ways to improve your health. This is a good day to get rid of what you don’t need.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You’ll be convincing when talking to children or young people today. They will hang on your every word. Likewise, romantic discussions will be powerful, especially because you are quick to see what’s going on beneath the surface of things. You can’t be fooled today.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Family discussions will be powerful and very much to the point today. In fact, certain secrets might be revealed. This is also a good day to tackle repairs and improvements to bathrooms, plumbing areas and anything to do with garbage and recycling.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You might be obsessed with a certain idea today, which crowds every other thought out of your mind. However, you also have a strong focus, which will help you to concentrate on whatever you need to think about. If talking to others, you’ll be convincing!
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Jessica Alba (1981) shares your birthday today. You appear to be poised and calm. You have a refined quality about you. You are charming, observant and an excellent listener.

Lyrid of the Lake
Image Credit & Copyright: Jeff Dai (TWAN)
Explanation: In the early hours of April 24 this bright Lyrid meteor flashed along the central Milky Way. For a moment, it cast a bright reflection across Lake Nian, Yunnan province, China. The annual Lyrid meteor shower, one of the oldest known, is active in late April, as our fair planet plows through dust left along the orbit of long-period comet Thatcher. The trail of the bright fireball points back toward the shower’s radiant in the constellation Lyra high in the northern springtime sky and off the top of the frame. Just rising in that starry sky, light from a third quarter moon also cast a glow on the peaceful waters of the lake.

Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or important decisions from 9 AM to 12:30 PM EDT today (6 AM to 9:30 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Pisces into Aries.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today you will put your interests and needs second to the needs of someone else because you feel genuinely concerned for their welfare. You’re not being a martyr. This is probably the appropriate thing to do. (True generosity is giving what is needed.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You might idealize a friend today. Certainly, you will feel protective and close to someone. You might also embrace a group, especially a charitable group with a mandate to help those in need. This is because your idealism is aroused today.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Because it’s easy to admire someone in a position of authority, you might develop a crush on a boss or someone “important”. You might also use your influence with someone in power (or your own influence) to help a third party. This is a perfect day for artistic, creative decisions. (Check Moon Alert.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Travel for pleasure will appeal to you today because you have a strong need to escape somewhere for some peace and quiet. Not only peace and quiet, you need a chance to restore and replenish yourself! White sands and turquoise waters would be ideal.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Keep your pockets open today because gifts, goodies and favours from others will come to you. Meanwhile, you might use your own resources or the resources of someone else to benefit a third party, especially someone in need. Personally, romantic affection will be dreamy and memorable!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Relations with close friends and partners will be warm and mutually sympathetic today. In fact, a friend could become a lover. Whatever the case, your approach to your closest relationships will be mature, warm and giving. You might see ways to turn your hopes into reality.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
If you can do something to make your workspace more attractive today, you will enjoy doing this. Remember that more than any other sign, you are affected by your surroundings – colour, composition, space, smell and lighting. Meanwhile, relations with coworkers are warm and reassuring today.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today romance is the stuff of movies. New love might come into your life. Existing romantic relationships will glow. Your love for someone will take on a spiritual aspect because you will want what is best for them. Relations with children will be tenderhearted. The arts will inspire!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is a lovely day to entertain at home, especially with family. It’s also great day to explore redecorating ideas or shop for beautiful things for your home. (If shopping – check Moon Alert above.) Family discussions will be warm and mutually sympathetic.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You might spend a lot of time daydreaming or being lost in thoughts of fantasy today. You have a refined appreciation of the beauty in your daily world and a desire to make your surroundings as lovely as possible. It’s easy to appreciate who you are and what you have.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
If shopping today, you will be tempted to buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. Definitely, take note of the restrictions of the Moon Alert – see above. Nevertheless, this is also a good day for business and commerce because you will be inclined to attract favourable situations to you.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today Venus is lined up with your ruler Neptune – both in your sign. This will help you to visualize your ideas and translate your hopes and dreams into a physical reality. The abstract to the concrete. Your relations with others will be warm and mutually sympathetic.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Sally Hawkins (1976) shares your birthday today. You are poised, calm and collected. Sometimes you are mystery to others. People enjoy your charming, friendly personality. They respect you. This is an exciting year for you because it’s a beginning of a new nine-year cycle. Get ready to explore. Be courageous. Open any door!

Spell for Today – Spell to Strengthen Your Psychic Shield
Spell to Strengthen Your Psychic Shield
The night before the Full Moon, find a place where your altar will not be disturbed for 24 hours. Put the cauldron in the center with a red candle on the right side, black candle of the left side, and white candle in the back; but do not light them yet.
Sprinkle a mixture of equal parts of elder blossoms, marjoram, mint and rue in an unbroken circle around the cauldron. Into a tiny vial, measure equal drops of clove, frankincense, jasmine, and lavender. Set the sealed bottle in the cauldron and leave until the night of the Full Moon.
On Full Moon night, take a cleansing bathe and robe yourself in white. Carry a good protective or purification incense through every room in the house. Make certain that the smoke drifts into closets. Return to the altar and light the candles.
Take up the dagger or sword. Face the East and raise the sword in salute. To salute in this manner, simply hold the sword point upward in front of you. Say:
By the power of the rising sun,
all evil in my life is done.
Turn to the South, salute, say:
By the power of darkening night,
my shield is strong, my armor tight.
Turn to the North, salute, say:
By Full Moon in blackening sky, I am not alone.
My help is nigh. The Goddess’s hands around me stay,
To keep me safe by night and day.
Begone, foul spirits, unbidden here.
I send you back, I do not fear.
For I have won. I am set free.
You have no further power over me.
Face the altar and take up the vial of oil. Put a drop of oil on your finger and anoint your forehead, heart, solar plexus, wrists and ankles. As you do this, visualize a shining blue suit of armor slowly descending over your body until you are entirely protected. Cap the bottle and store in a safe place.
Thank the Powers for their help and extinguish the candles. Apply the oil and repeat the chants whenever you feel the armor is slipping.

Moon Shadow on Jupiter

Explanation: What is that large dark spot on Jupiter? It’s the shadow of Ganymede, Jupiter‘s largest moon. When Jupiter’s moons cross between the Jovian giant and the Sun, they created shadows just like when the Earth’s moon crosses between the Earth and the Sun. Also like on Earth, if you were in a dark shadow on Jupiter, you would see a moon completely eclipse the Sun. Unlike on Earth, moon shadows occur most days on Jupiter — what’s more unusual is that a spacecraft was close enough to record one with a high-resolution image. That spacecraft, Juno, was passing so close to Jupiter in late February that nearby clouds and the dark eclipse shadow appear relatively large. Juno has made many discoveries about our Solar System‘s largest planet, including, recently, rapidly expanding circular auroras.
