In this edition of StarDate Susitna, Kathleen Fleming talks mostly about seeing Venus, even in daytime, plus Jupiter and Saturn. The program, however, begins with a lament… the tail end of the Annular Eclipse of 10-14-23 could have been visible at sunrise from the Upper Su Valley if it hadn’t been for the clouds. She got better reports from family and friends, mentioned in the audio, with images shared here.
