Cetus
The faint constellation Cetus, the Sea Monster, is now visible in the southern evening sky. In Greek legend, Cetus was the creature that was about to eat Andromeda when Perseus vanquished it. To early Christians, Cetus represented the whale that swallowed Jonah.

fun stuff you can find on http://www.accuweather.com/ ... I swear, the meteorology sites lately are really nifty!

there's going to be meteor showers near gemini on the 14th. I'm hoping to see them if it's not cloudy :-)

I always make a point (except in the summer, obviously) of checking the Tonight's Sky (http://www.earthsky.com/Features/Skywatching/today.html) feature at Earth and Sky. Coincidentally enough, their feature for the 11th is also Cetus! =)
