    this seems exciting  http://www.accuweather.com/en/features/trend/venus_jupiter_mars_triangle_space_moon_morning_predawn_sky/53230238

     

    I saw a helicopter last night.

     

     

    was it flying in a figure 8 search pattern?  i may have seen the same one. :)

    sees black hawks and sea hawks by the MacArthur airport.

    Living in Pensacola, you must be able to see all kinds of aircraft. Isn't that the main Marine Air Station?

     

    iz on south shore of Long Island.  Coast Guard barracks are a couple of bridges away,   Lighthouse, i forget the name.   went with the bubby one time, back when i was still driving.  we both came home with tickes on us.  eeek

    I've been watching this develop all week. I walk every morning (buppies don't know Saturday or Sunday sleep-in) before sunrise (AZ heat habit) and have witnessed glorious amber harvest moons, brilliant neon blue full moons, and sickle moons so bright and slim they appear as a bright scratch on the dark sky, eclipses, and the stars whirling about the early morning sky. In AZ, Venus rises about 3 AM in the fall, and is visible until the sun breaks the horizon. On Monday the three planets looked to be in a straight vertical line. Venus has slowly been sliding downward, in relationship to the other planets. It's usually so clear here, and the latitude, I think that I see many day-time moons as well. I never saw those when I lived in the northeast. 

    Misty, thanks for the article, I wasn't sure what the other planets were. 

     

    on a trip to New Mexico we were on the road between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, we had to pull over cause the night sky without light pollution was like a gaze-gasmic.  

    It's great like that up in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, too!  One year on vacation, we went to the Pemi Overlook, on the Kankamagus Highway (Rte. 112).  It's right at the Kankamagus Pass, the highest point on the route.  Crazy star-filled sky!  The Milky Way was easily observed.  And then I broke out the binoculars, and it looked like a blanket of sequins.  So many stars!  It was amazing!

    Dana

    One of the most beautiful trips I've taken was going from Los Angeles to Austin by train.. the night sky in the esert is amazing, and sunrises and sunsets are incredible!  Also,the one train trip I took from Virginia to Chicago, were were in the plains and there was a full moon AND Sunrise.. the observation car was packed.

    This is one reason I don't like flying.. yiou miss how the world can look..

    I have really appreciated the night sky since we moved to Wales. We live at about 1200ft, in what is referred to sometimes as "The foothills of the Brecon Beacons range",  the Brecon Beacons being some of the highest mountains in Wales, and the 4 Beacon mountains were used to light beacons on, back in the day. The Brecon Beacons area is now a National Park, and has been granted "Dark Sky" status. In other words we do get to see a sky to the north of us that is pretty much free of light pollution. This year we have been able to see comets, occasionally the ISS passing, and of course now the line up of the 3 planets. We don't have to travel too far to even see the northern lights when there is a good show, and the number of stars we see on a clear night is incredible. Plus often we do see sun and moon in the sky at the same time.

    Sounds lovely!  It's tough to find a place like that out here, without being dozens of miles away from civilization..

    Atlanta is not that bad... Or was it the flying part?... You did fly, right?... Maybe you just taxied all the way to Atlanta... Sometimes it feels like it took that long. By the way, how's the zombie problem down there?... The Walking Dead really made it seem off the wall, far worse than the last time I was there.

  • McGyverMcGyver Posts: 7,098

    Anyone here going Trick or Treating or dressing up as anything not what they are normally dressed up as... for hollow weenies? I was gonna be some sort of Star Wars-esque bounty hunter... I only half finished making the helmet... Got too busy to make the gauntlets and body armor, now I'll never finish it before Halloween. I used to like Halloween, now it's just boring... I'm not allowed to terrify small children anymore, so where is the fun...

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    my friend at work is too good to be true.  i don't deserve her.  

    she went to her library on lunch time and rented grimm season2 to lend to me, so i don't have suffer cliffhangar blues.

    what is Monro?  boodenbod?
    and what's up with the police capt?
    and mary elizabeth mastro tonio ... oops, shouldn't say any more 

    i hope nick eventually tells Juliet and Hank the truth. it's stressful to keep a moas secret.

    That's a very nice photo Chohole... Where I am there is too much light pollution... If I were to go about 40 miles east of here or out into the nearby Atlantic, it gets very dark... It's nice when you go out in a boat and it's clear skies at night... especially at this time of year... No auroras, but you can make out the Milky Way band... The stars... Not the candy bar.

    Morning. Caught up in a huge traffic jam with a mob of orange-beaked seagulls sqwawking loud as a heavy metal band caught in  cab-rocking wind gusts like tumbling orange and grey rag dolls alongside the freeway bridge jammed with horse floats and all kinds of flash limos heading for the race track.

    I'm almost ready for Halloween.  I've carved my pumpkin and placed it on the porch to lure the little beggars close.  Now all I have to do is finish digging the tiger pit and sharpen the stakes to put in the bottom. devil

    Actually, I'm lying.  blush  I'm not digging the pit.  I don't get many (any) trick-or-treaters anymore.  Not since I tried the tiger pit scheme years ago. surprise

    Do all planes have baños?   

    muy petito baños

    Sí sí 

    Hay muchas cosa feliz en el inodoro baño ... pero el perro ha de tocar el violín mientras vuela el avión hacia atrás!

    Here's a giggle. Since I don't speak Spanish, I ran your comment through Google translate:

    There are many happy thing toilet in the bathroom ... but the dog has to fiddle while flying the plane back!

    My point exactly... Unless of course you have lamas, then it's peanut butter. 

    Dali lamas?
