did I mention I love space?

I was taking some rubbish when I spotted two bright points in the sky. Okay, I see a bright point in the sky just before the stars come out, it's probably Venus. Everyone knows that. But hey, there's two, what's this other one

When it's clear enough here, I always find myself looking up and looking for the Dippers. Of course, I'm always looking for them higher in the sky than they are because of all the times I've laid out in my aunt's yard in Phoenix. They appear lower in the sky here in the Seattle area and you would think I would know that by now but nope.

Oh, look it's clear this morning. Ooh stars! Okay, let's find the Dippers. *Looks straight up* Wait, where are they? They're so easy to find. Oh yeah. Lower. Lower. Ah! There they are!

Every single time!

And you know what's really cool? When Mars is close and bright enough that you can see a red tinge to it when looking at it.

I found this and thought you would be interested.

You are cool! I love that photo!
Space is magical. :-)
