the sky & Beyond: Halloween comet passing by

[Lemon Cheesecake]

it's been overcast the last few nights so I guess I miss seeing the moon & seven sisters line up, hopefully someone, somewhere can see it!

Someone, somewhere
I know you're out there
Ready to sing
Along with the music life brings
And when you do
You'll hear me singing too
So don't you fret
For so long as you don't forget
These words I say
You'll have a happy day
Just listen and hear
The fact that your friends are here

Thanks for that pick me up, Npix!

Knowing we are not alone makes a difference in our perspective I think

Looking at the moon knowing that it's the same old moon that various kings, philosophers, and poets have looked up to, prayed to, and found inspiration in is one hell of an emotion.

watch for the 12P/Pons-Brooks comet - it comes every 71 years.

To spot it, look low on the northwestern horizon after sunset. As the month goes on, the comet will set earlier, so the best time to look for it will be just after it gets dark. While Pons-Brooks is a bright comet, it will most easily be seen in dark skies."

Happy first day of summer!

Tomorrow is the strawberry moon.

I just read a day in space is only 90 minutes long.

[npixelz]

Wouldn't it depend on where you are? Like if you're right next to the sun it's daytime 24/7, no?

oh ya, sorry, correction: a day on the space station is 90 minutes...
