What's that bar of blue dots under 'Astronomy' above???

It's the first two rows of something called a Clear Sky Clock.  Click it for a larger more detailed version, or look below.  This type of clock shows a prediction of things like cloud cover, darkness, etc. for today and tomorrow.  Very helpful in determining when to go out and look at the stars!

Bridgewater Hill is in Bridgewater, and the observatory overlooks the ski slopes of Killington.  It's the closest Clear Sky Clock to Randolph.

In both the smaller version above, and the large version here, you ideally want to see as much dark color in the first 4 rows as possible.  Lighter colors means worse viewing.

Clicking either image will take you to www.cleardarksky.com, and give you a very detailed listing of what this clock is showing.

Here are the Astronomy links that I use most:
