Operation PAN-STARRS

I was just rummaging around in the blog and found this unpublished post from last year. 


Mission Control, we have success!

We've been chasing the comet all month. Last night, we pulled into a parking area next to a local business spotted the comet, snapped a couple of pics and it disappeared into the growing haze at the horizon.

Jupiter also had  a close encounter with the moon last night.

It got closer to the moon around midnight, It became a trio: Jupiter, moon and Aldebaran. 

As excited as the kids were for the comet and the moon, the CSX train was far more interesting, loud, big and moving!
