After carrying out the trash for this morning’s pick up, I was greeted with this jaw-dropping sight. The December supermoon hovered above the trees while a contrail crossed from Canis Minor (upper left) to Auriga on the lower right. Just below the trees in the upper part or the photo, the brilliant Jupiter forms aContinue reading “Supermoon”

I wish their travelers well. #contrail #airlines #passengers #intersection
It’s SpaceX, Duck!
