Hi all,

Isn't tonight the night of the Antares occultation? I almost forgot,
because of all of the recent clouds. But it might even be clear
tonight!

If I read the details correctly, it should disappear at around 2:15 AM
(Thursday morning) and reappear around 2:55 AM. Those are local (PST)
times that should be good around San Jose and San Francisco. But
please, don't take my word for it -- double check it for yourself.
Here's one source (watch out for line wrap):

Joe Bob sez "check it out"!
