I’ve always had way more interests than time, but astronomy has always been up in my top loves. We had this rockin’ planetarium at Bellevue Community College <A> http://scidiv.bcc.ctc.edu/Astronomy/</A>... the kind with a ball in the center that had been sculpted BY HAND with tiny pink pricks to represent every star and planet. A light shines from inside the sphere, and the mechanisms in the floor allow the projections on the ceiling to rotate according to our desired time and location. Ah, what great memories!<BR/><BR/>Zeppellina, so wonderful to see you again! Thank you for your compliments. It’s always a pleasure to stop in and see your work as well!<BR/><BR/>Hi FrankenGirl! I’m so glad you liked the image. I never get tired of moon-gazing. It’s such a peaceful and at times introspective pastime. Talking to the moon always helps me sort things out (sort of like talking with the trees).<BR/><BR/>UltimateWriter, your comment reminds me of some of the strange things I’ve seen in the night sky in Seabeck, WA (where it’s much darker at night). Provided there are no clouds, we can see the Milky Way and many of the dimmer stars, but we also see a lot of really strange phenomena which could easily fall in the category of UFOs!!! It may have something to do with being so close to a few military bases, but we will never know for certain. ;)Jade L Blackwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321787298101881675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422439.post-1145304006402987172006-04-17T13:00:00.000-07:002006-04-17T13:00:00.000-07:00Nice view.
