Don't forget

The next few days, especially August 12, should be good for star-gazing. The Perseids are just about to peak.



Any excuse to stand outside late at night and stare skyward, filled with wonder. What runs through your head, the instant you see a shooting star?


Edited to add: As of just a few moments ago, the Discovery is safe on the ground. Yay, astronauts! Yay, NASA! Now, if only we could build a shuttle that didn't have shit falling off of it all the way through its journey.
