Pondering About the Night Sky

Last week, the weather in the northeastern US was balmy and summer-like, bringing out the sunbather in all of us, and that got me thinking about that term, "sunbather". Yes, I'd rather be outside in the bright daylight, but what about moon "worshipers"?

Just this morning, while reading through my "morning paper" (a collection of, among other things, science-based RSS feeds), I discovered this:

Six views of the moon from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's Wide Angle Camera,
which captures almost the entire surface of the moon once a month.

Isn't that just a beautiful sight to behold? (To read the whole article, click here.)

After all the stress of the day, I just may take the time some evening (and the nearest telescope) and look upward.

After the unenviable return of winter temperatures goes away that is!

Have a great day (and night)!
