Moon to Hide Star Cluster Early July 20

If you live anywhere in the eastern half of North America and clear skies are forecast for early on Thursday morning, July 20, then be sure to be outside sometime between midnight and dawn and look for the thin crescent Moon hanging low in the east-northeast sky. Just about 5-days shy of New phase and 24 percent illuminated, it will again be crossing in front the Pleiades Star Cluster, making for a very beautiful scene in steadily held binoculars or a small telescope.

Could make for some cool pictures.

Ding ding ding! Yea for Mr Kleen!!

What, you crazy Mazda people don't talk about things like where the word Mazda comes from on your forums?

You mean like this:

The Zoroastrian faith is described by its adherents as Mazdayasna, the worship of Mazda, the creator of the world, the source of light, and the embodiment of good.

Since we're on the subject of car emblem and name origins, my other car:

Toyota named the car "Celica," which derived from medieval Spaniards that used Latin and it's literal translation is a plural form of "celestial" as in "celestial things". The original dragon logo depicts a celestial blue dragon; symbol of the East and representative of the Emperor and celestial power. The dragon logo emblem... adorned the first of the first generation Celicas.

Impreza - is a coined word, deriving from an originally Italian word, impresa, meaning a badge or motto. In Polish, "Impreza" also means to celebrate, or party.
