Mother's Day Sundogs

Mother's Day started out beautiful and clear.

Rising in the east, the Sun was accompanied by a pair of sundogs....rainbow-colored reflections in the high, thin cirrus clouds, on either side of the Sun. Sundogs can vary in brightness, size and intensity, but these were a wonderful tribute to all the Mothers in our lives........

ISS and the Milky Way

The all-sky camera here at Meadowcreek Park Observatory captured the International Space Station as it passed overhead last night. Clearly visible, is the Milky Way, stretching across the view, from left to right!!

The ISS travels from west-to-east (top-to-bottom in this view). Click on image for larger view.
