The moon may be familiar, but it's still great to look at.

I don't know what is what, just the beauty.<br /><br />We have quite a few meteor showers and stuff and it's something the boys and I love watching together. At times the cloud cover prevents us from seeing the show, but not too often. <br /><br />We go nuts over the moon, too. How it changes colors.

These days I write mysteries and don't think I've ever employed astronomy in anything. But I do put other interests in them. I made my protag in L.A. Heat a network engineer since that's what I did, I also love putting animals in my books. Horses are in a lot of mine, as are dogs. Why not?

On Friday nights, the planetarium show at the Boston Museum of Science used to be the constellations as seen from Boston. I haven't gone there in years, so I don't know if they still do that show.<br /><br />Savanna, I'm glad you enjoy the stars.

I love the way your interest has inspired and informed your characters' interests - that makes them even more alive.<br /><br />Do you have 'Starry' programmes? We have a thing called SKY AT NIGHT which comes on once a month and is hosted by Patrick Moore, an astronomer who is about 90 years old now but still full of life and Lindsay Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11513558547686982857noreply@blogger.com
