Tomorrow … Watch a spacewalk

Tomorrow … A partial solar eclipse
This eclipse will be visible from southern South America (Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, far-southern Brazil and far-southern Paraguay), Antarctica, and the far-southern extremities of the South Pacific and South Atlantic Oceans.
Tonight … For those at southerly latitudes, Canopus!
Speaking of devotion, northern skywatchers sometimes travel southward in winter, for a glimpse of Canopus above the southern horizon.
