I Actually Do Know If It's Cloudy Or Bright

Nov 26, 2003 06:09

The stars are out this morning. I'm not used to seeing stars so crisply from my house; usually there's too much haze or light pollution. Mind you, the great big streetlight that's right next to my balcony certainly did its best to blind me, but I was still able to see old standbys like Orion's Belt ( Read more... )

Stars here are a lot brighter before dawn, perhaps because that's when environmental light from Fremont is at its minimum. I love getting up early and greeting Orion and Sirius.

I wish I had gotten up earlier to see it.
That is one of the many things I love about where I live now. Seeing the stars at night. I love just standing there and looking up with nothing between them and me. Well maybe a plane or two.
I feel like when I was a kid and being out, laying on the grass and just watching them for hours.

You are up early...

...working in a planetarium. I wrote and performed planetarium shows for 6 years; I loved feeling so connected to the night sky. It's horrible, but sometimes it hits me now that I barely ever even look UP anymore -- I barely ever take the time. Wahhh!

Sorry if I woke you up so much you couldn't go back to sleep this morning.

*sad boo face*

Ma.

It wasn't bad! It was just how it was. Usually I sleep through; you know that. I was just ready to get up.

When I was ready to go back to bed (around 0800), I did, so it's NOT like I'm at ALL sleep-deprived.

There have been several mornings recently where I wake up before dawn, sometimes without your influence. I'm just rolling with it and doing what my body wants to do.
