BWB in Japan

by Kazuya Ayani

On the 27th, no one visited us because of the bad weather.

This evening, i.e., on the 28th, the weather was not so good, but we watched Venus, Moon, Saturn, Pleiades and some other bright stars through thin cloud. About 40 visitors enjoyed Venus. "Looks like crescent Moon!". However, cloud became thicker and thicher, and at 21 o'clock local time, no celestial objects could be seen by the naked eye.
