This is the Neowise comet. Not bad, considering we were watching the comet in a VERY lit neighborhood. We wanted to head out to the desert where it was darker, but with it being late and Eli in bed, we couldn’t.
Waiting for it to get dark.
Funny story. To me, anyway. Yesterday Paul and I went out to see the comet. We couldn’t get our telescope to work, and Aaron and my parents couldn’t find the comet. Even with my detail description, of: Look across the street, find the electrical box, follow the fence up to the sky until you see two stars, then slightly move to your left and there it is! Well, since they live in a totally different neighborhood, obviously the electrical box as a starter point wouldn’t work for them. See, funny to me. I’m giggling all over again.
So, since they had a working telescope and we had visual on the comet, we decided to get together tonight and see the comet. Hopefully a little closer than with binoculars.
Even Lulu came 🙂
So, where is the comet again? Here. For the next few days anyway.
I’m glad they come over. It’s always fun with Aaron, of course, but look at the picture he took with the telescope. Not bad with it being so bright out with the street lights, and neighbors lights.
And it’s not a proper gathering without food! No, I didn’t make this, but I wish I had. It was delicious! Cheesecake topped with fruit.
As always, we had a great time together as a family.
