Stars in my eyes.


Lots of late nights lately have me enjoying my half hour drive home from work taking in the glorious night sky.

One night recently, the family and I took our telescope out to the back yard and had a close-up look at Jupiter. It was fun to look at that little white dot and see four of it's moons in a line (three on one side of the planet, and one on the other). My son (with the sharp eyes) could also make out a few lines on the panet. When he mentioned it to me, I could make out one.

Perhaps we'll invest in a stronger lens for our telescope some day soon.

I'm so glad to see you posting again. After that last post, I was afraid you'd been shipped off to some secret torture internment camp somewhere.
