Lin, thanks for focusing some attention to the sky and little piece of the universe we can see at night. We are so small but so lucky indeed. Smiles!!

I truly miss seeing the myriads of stars, Duke. It's amazing how many we can see, knowing there are so many more that we cannot. Thank you.

Thank you, Tom. When I lived in Colorado, I was amazed at the number of stars that were visible. Not here due to light pollution and I miss seeing their beauty.
