The State Journal is a broadsheet newspaper that primarily serves Frankfort, the capital city of Kentucky, as well as the surrounding Franklin County area.

1 week ago | state-journal.com | Dan Price

Mars is placed perfectly for viewing this week, forming a nearly straight line with the twin stars of Gemini, Castor and Pollux.
