Two Day Moon

There was another Falcon 9 Starlink launch out of Florida right around sunset here, which meant I was out looking at the sky about 80 minutes later. (Just shy of the end of the first 90-minute orbit.)

Nada!

Which is not to say that there wasn’t anything pleasant or wonderful to see, I just didn’t spot any second stages passing overhead venting fuel.

There was a very pleasant and beautiful, if somewhat subdued, sunset to watch. None of the flaming golds and oranges and reds that we can occasionally get, and not a cloud in the sky to give it “texture.”

But the Moon is just barely two days past new, so it’s just a silver sliver popping into view and hanging there once it started to get dark.

If your skies are clear, go take a look tomorrow night. It will be just as stunning then. And the night after. And on, and on, and on…
