Wow.
It's after midnight and I'm walking my dog, in what must be some of the
thickest light pollution in which one can see stars, when I glance at
something I've never noticed before, just above the east horizon. The
Pleiades were just bright enough, with no other stars visible in the
neighborhood. Tiny little things, but so intense! I now understand why
mythologies were told about them. Beautiful! I don't think I'll ever not
notice them again.
Next time, I'm using binocs on a tripod. On the mountain. With Barbara to
show them off to. :-,
Cheers,
