I love the mystery and scariness of it. No amount of inpenetrable, steely Star Trek ships conquering the universe can sterilize the wonderment of it for me.
In mid-November Andy, Scott, and I drove out to watch the Leonid Meteor Shower. I saw several handfuls of meteors before we left. I could have stayed all night.
Along the same lines, only dorkier, I downloaded Google Sky Map for my phone. It maps out the sky so you can know what you're looking at. You can even search for stuff and it will point you in the right direction.
The next big meteor shower is December 13/14. This time I'll be prepared for the cold and prepared to be dazzled. Maybe I'll identify some heavenly bodies while I wait. [insert joke about readers' heavenly bodies]
