Stars

It's Fall, and the stars are changing. Maybe it is the earlier nightfall that has made the biggest difference in the way they look for me. Or maybe it is just their slowly changing positions.

Last night the clouds obstructed my view, but the night before that, they were big and bright in a dark, dark sky.

Scorpio is starting to set quickly in the evening, but it's red star is so red! And the big dipper is right side up--a big change from summertime. I've been particularly tickled with my ability to see the constellations just south of Cassiopeia. It is neat to see the huge constellation Pegasus.

There are still a lot of constellations that I don't know, but it is always fun to learn new ones. What are your favorite constellations? Are any of you star-freaks? Who's been stargazing since summer??

Can't wait for your comments! Have fun looking at those stars. You know, they are the same ones Abraham saw!
