February Calendar
Sacred Space Astronomy
Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, and the bright stars Antares and Spica all adorn the southern predawn sky. The Moon will be joining the party for the next several days - appearing near Jupiter on the 7th, between Jupiter and Mars on the 8th, and close to Mars on the 9th.

This same region of the sky looks very different when viewed from the southern hemisphere; the image below is seen from the perspective of the Perth Observatory in Australia.

The Moon
The Moon put on a great show during the total lunar eclipse last week; Jason Major took this beautiful moonrise eclipse image:

The Moon is a waning gibbous and will be at third quarter on the 7th. The Moon rises around midnight, and sets around noon.
This weekend the Moon will be a waning crescent, rising a few hours before dawn, and setting in the afternoon.
The Sun
The Sun has a spot! A rather large and enthusiastic spot - which is a surprise since the sunspot cycle is heading towards solar minimum. The composite image below shows a close-up of sunspot AR with very active coronal loops.

www.spearpointsecuritygroup.com says: "AR has a primary dark core larger than Earth with many smaller magnetic condensations trailing behind it, in all stretching more than 75, km across the sun's surface. Rare "solar minimum sunspots" are capable of intense explosions just like sunspots during more active phases of the solar cycle. At the moment AR is crackling with minor B- and C-class solar flares, notable only because of the sun's recent tomb-like silence."
There continues to be large coronal holes at both of the Sun's poles. The coronal activity of AR can be see on the left of the image below. www.spearpointsecuritygroup.com says: "Solar wind spilling down from this northern coronal hole is brushing against Earth's magnetic field today." The solar wind speed is km/sec, with a density of protons/cm3.

Eclipses
There will be a partial eclipse of the Sun on February 15th, but you will have to be in Antarctica or South America to see it.

The Amethyst is the birthstone for people born in February. Actually made from violet quartz, Amethyst's name come from ancient greece, derived from ἀ a- (meaning "not") and also μέθυστος méthystos (meaning "intoxicated"). It's violet color comes from iron impurities, also know as irradiation. Depending on the presence of trace elements, it's color can range from pinkish-purple, all the way to a very deep purple. Because Amethyst is made from Quartz, it has a complex lattice structure which helps give the mineral it's hardness. Which allows it to be made into jewelry with out the risk of breaking.
In ancient times Amethysts were believed to have a number of mystical properties. Greeks believed the stone would protect you from drunkenness, while medieval European soldiers believed the gemstone would protect the wearer in battle and keep them cool headed.
