The Giant’s Great Lights
Four of the 10 brightest stars hunt with Orion
The figure of Orion hulks over the western horizon at sunset, around 7:25 this week. The great hunter was a giant able to wade through the oceans and also the most handsome man ever. His constellation, perhaps the most recognized, is grand and beautiful, too. Rigel, Orion’s leg, is the seventh-brightest star in the heavens; Betelgeuse, the hunter’s right shoulder, is 10th brightest. Three brilliant stars, the String of Pearls, form his belt, while his distinct hourglass shape stands out among the heavens as the most human-like constellation. continue reading...

Editorial
Springtime Perils of a Beckoning Bay
Chesapeake Country natives don’t need newspapers or books to tell them that spring turns the Bay’s always-fickle weather reckless as a teenager. Newcomers — for whom Chesapeake Bay has always been a magnet — may have taken warning from James Michener’s Chesapeake, the primer for modern-day water-drawn emigrants.
