I would like to spend a little time discussing the RASC General Meeting from last night. The lecture provided on the Antikythera Mechanism was absolutely amazing. If you have the opportunity please attend the open house at the Rothney Astrophysical Observatory on January 28 where the lecture will be presented again. Below is a video outlining the mechanism:

I hope you have the opportunity this week to look up and take in the sight of Orion and Canis Major along with Venus and Mars lighting up the southwestern skies.
