Just recently I learned that the constellation that always reminds me of Daddy's bee smoker is actually part of Leo.
I laugh at myself when I remember seeing a rocket fuel dump and thinking it was a comet.
Last fall, my son and I went to a nearby field and watched the launch of the moon probe LADEE.
Day or night, I enjoy seeing the moon. I've also seen Venus during the day. That was amazing.
I like the many ways clouds look. A few months ago, I saw some rare iridescent clouds. Here is one shot I took of those iridescent clouds.
I also like to watch jets, planes, and helicopters as they fly overhead. When I hear one, I look up to see if I can spot it. We live, as the crow flies, probably less than 25 miles from a major airport, so I often see the jets fly overhead. (We're not close enough for it to be a nuisance, just close enough to maybe see the evening sun reflecting on them high overhead and wonder where they're off to.)
I found this website which shows the plane paths quite fascinating. http://rduflighttrack.rdu.com/rduflightpath/
Yes, we're pretty close to one of those paths.
Have you looked up lately?
