International Space Station -

Last night we stood outside with the moon and stars and watched the International Space Station as it emerged from the northwest and flew southeast. What a thrill.  I am now signed up to receive notices of when it's visible where I live.

You can also watch where it is right now.  http://iss.astroviewer.net

You can go to this website and take a tour of the space station and learn more.

This morning I walked outside as the sun rose through a white bouquet of plum blossoms.  Last night I watched what flew overhead.  Sometimes we need to look up and out and in, and let the headlines of the day blow far, far away.
