Message-ID: <16832@sri-arpa.UUCP> Date: Thu, 16-Feb-84 12:18:00 EST Article-I.D.: sri-arpa.16832 Posted: Thu Feb 16 12:18:00 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 21-Feb-84 04:06:09 EST Lines: 6 The Old Farmer's Almanac (1984 edition) lists a conjunction of Mars and Saturn for 15 Feb, when Mars was less than 1 degree south of Saturn. They both were reflecting similar brightnesses. Since they both rise around midnight now, it's reasonable that you saw them in the southeast sky at 3 am. Craig Everhart
