Should be able to see Antares in the city too. I have.

To: Conan the Librarian

I’m extra excited because I may be able to make out the entire Scorpius constellation for the first time in years!

We live in the middle of nowhere with NO light pollution, so there’s THAT, but I’ve been here three years now and I still struggle with figuring out where everything ‘is’ after living at my other farm where I knew all of the Heavens by Heart over my 25 years of living there.

I loved teaching my boys about the night sky, camping out on the deck for the whole month of August and counting ‘falling stars’ with them, welcoming the Returning Hero, Orion, each fall into winter, etc. ;)

That probably sounds weird, but it is what it is. We get to observe this AMAZING Universe for SUCH a short period of time; the blink of an eye, really.

I don’t want to miss a thing! :)
