Welcome to S&T's Skywatcher's Bulletin. More information on the items
below is available on our Web site, SkyandTelescope.com, at the URLs
provided. Clear skies!
=========================================================================
COMET KUDO-FUJIKAWA OUTWARD-BOUND
The comet has survived its passage past the Sun and is now beginning its
journey back to the depths of the solar system. It may soon be a fine
sight after sunset for Southern Hemisphere observers.

COMET NEAT HEADS TOWARD THE SUN
Discovered as part of the Near Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) program,
Comet NEAT (C/2002 V1) is currently estimated to be magnitude 5.5. For the
next few evenings it can still be found low in the west after sunset, just
below the western edge of the Great Square of Pegasus.

JUPITER'S MOON DANCES
As Jupiter's four largest satellites gracefully dance around the giant
planet, they occasionally pass behind or in front of each other. During
February, several total and annular eclipses of one moon by another will
take place. Jupiter is now well placed for viewing -- why not see what the
moons are doing tonight?

SKY AT A GLANCE
Take a look at Venus with a telescope during early dawn on the 7th, and
you'll find the 4th-magnitude star Mu Sagittarii close by, looking like a
little Venusian satellite. To read more about what's happening in the
night sky this week, visit "This Week's Sky at a Glance" at:
