clear

[low_delta]

It's been very damp for the last couple of weeks. I noticed today, that it's more clear than it has been. The humidity dropped below 50%. The haze has lifted. I went out a little while ago. The sky is so clear. The crescent moon had set, so there were a lot of stars visible. All those little stars in between the constellations. I saw a satellite go over. And a jet that was so high I could barely hear it. And I could barely make out the Milky Way.

I know, some of you are, like, that's all you can see? Well that's the way it is around here. We're close enough to inhabited areas, that we can seldom see the Milky Way. But then we don't have to go far to get a better view, either.

Isn't it neat to be outside when you can see stuff?

When I saw a shooting star at Tanglewood the other night I was very excited. Not because of where I was, but of what I saw.

I have bad eyes. So I know my chances are less of seeing *Carl Sagan's voice* billions and billions.....

I had my contacts in.

The skies in western Mass are so much more free of 'light pollution' than NW Indiana!

It was beautiful.

I forgot to go out during the meteor shower. It was clear, too. :-(

At night, if we can see the moon, Venus and Orion's belt, it's a pretty good view!

Seems like we could usually see the big dipper, from down in Milwaukee.

I've been fortunate to see a few jewels though some big telescopes. Beautiful.
