Comets, eclipses, and wind….

Well…let’s start with the last one and go from there…I am always amazed with how the wind acts when I am out on the bike…and today was no exception…it seemed like…no it was…the wind was coming from every direction today…usually, when you head out to the East and you have a brisk wind in your face, you can look forward to having it end when you go north, or south, or west…but today, it was a struggle every direction…still can’t figure out how that works but it sure takes a lot out of you…as you probably know…a comet passed pretty close to Mars on Sunday and I really expected to see some cool photos since the Hubble ones from a week ago were quite neat….but, following it live Sunday, the pictures were grainy at best…still kind of cool to see the ones from the surface taken by one of the rovers but I’d hoped for more….not sure if you saw the lunar eclipse a couple of weeks ago but it was pretty neat…had to get up early to see it but seeing the moon with a huge bite out of it always makes me smile…and now, we have a half solar eclipse for thurs aft around 5:30 here that could be fun….that’s tomorrow for the date challenged…I am looking forward to that one, too, heck…I look forward to anything like that…still a science and space geek after all these years and I look forward to the gloom that comes with the eclipse…kind of near sunset but I’ll be looking anyway….oh, and I added a new category that I will put all the science stuff in as I write about sciency stuff…
