Ami, I hear you! It breaks my heart to not see the stars! The sky here is so much bigger than in Ohio, so that’s cool!

I absolutely love the stars. Now that I live in the city, they’re a bit harder to see. I forget how wonderful and plentiful they are until I visit my family in the “country” and look up to see a blanket of stars. Can’t help but stare for a while.

Lana, that is really cool! Wow, I wish I coulda read it! They are very bright, and lots of them. In Ohio, there’s always so many trees where I was, that I only got to see a small piece of the sky at a time.

I actually wrote an astronomical column for a small magazine in Canada for 7 years before I moved away. I’ve long been a space cadet, so to speak. The stars in Arizona are particularly lovely to look at, considering the lack of humidity interference.

Chihuahua is wobbling less, thanks for asking. I’m going to be adding a new installment of her journey, in video, on Facebook.

I think Ibis has used that. I wondered the same thing about the Big Dipper being visible there. THe alignment seems to be pretty similar, so it’s possible that I had a mountain in the way.

Awww, Kath! How is the wobbling chihuahua?

“what impressed me most was the sheer brilliance of the Universe to form exact patterns for the enjoyment of mere mortals. Imagine how boring the sky if just a blanket of random sparkle.”

Wow, yeah. Yeah. So true. And beautiful!

Beautiful, beautiful post, Natasha. A true reflection of its writer.

Two nights ago as I stood in the front yard with my wobbling chihuahua, I looked to the sky and there I saw Orion’s belt, or maybe it was the Three Sisters. Not really sure, but what impressed me most was the sheer brilliance of the Universe to form exact patterns for the enjoyment of mere mortals. Imagine how boring the sky if just a blanket of random sparkle.
