Night Sky Stuff

Cool

Thanks for the heads up, Raz

. Really!

NASA TV!!!!!!!

Had one fly over the house 7:15pm on 11/9.  We were outside on the deck and saw the flaming blue/white mass with balls of fire trailing off of it. It looked like it was on course to crash in the cornfields adjacent to our property. Im sure it still had a few miles to travel but from our sight line it looked like a plane on a downward spiral ready to crash.  As we were gathering our thoughts one of the dogs starting aggressively barking and running for the woods --- if The Predator had walked out of the woods with my dogs head on a stick I wouldn't have been shocked.  

We're loading up this morning for two nights of backpacking to see the show.

Watching NASA pre ISS docking .  Burns and procedures before docking in approximate two hours. 

Split view on the TV. A white dot and a space box part.

Incredible live video. 

Just checked back in, they're about to open the hatch...

Scientists Discover Outer Space Isn't Pitch Black After All

[In fact, the amount of light coming from mysterious sources was about equal to all the light coming in from the known galaxies, says Marc Postman, an astronomer with the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. So maybe there are unrecognized galaxies out there, he says, "or some other source of light that we don't yet know what it is."

The new findings are sure to get astronomers talking.

"They're saying that there's as much light outside of galaxies as there is inside of galaxies, which is a pretty tough pill to swallow, frankly," notes Michael Zemcov, an astrophysicist at Rochester Institute of Technology, who was not part of the research team.]

Alan , I didn't take time to read your link but the fist thing that come to my mind is where you are at in the unknown universe would be the  location of recipient absorption of the new light in conjunction with known light factors. 

So yeah, tough pill.

Saw a few Monday night. Spread out a tarp and slept in a field in Land Between the Lakes.

No record setters, but the sky was perfect for looking at.

Freezing Tuesday night. Gazed at Saturn, Jupiter, and the crescent moon shortly after dark and crawled in the tent.

The creek water and bird sights and sounds were good.
