Stig rolls out for Parade of Planets at dawn.....

....and he should have stayed in bed.

I woke the pup and told her we're going to see the last chance for the "parade of planets for 2025!"

This ground fog made us (me) think this adventure is going to be pretty cool. A bonding moment.


We parked back there and hiked onto the dam for the best unobstructed view of the eastern sky.


42°F We see two planets. Waiting. We brought coffee.


(one of us peed on the guard rail)



"OK, listen kiddo - any minute 4 more planets will come racing into that eastern sky!"
I showed her the screenshot....


Yeah, well. How about we stop at Dunkin D's?

Getting some super images of last night's Aurora Borealis  over parts of the UK.  Not where I am sadly owing to near 100% cloud cover!
