PANORAMIC

I look at the APOD every day. Usually it is a bunch of galaxies and stuff all colorized which I don't much appreciate somehow. Not too close to home.

But everyonce in awhile they get something that hits me right across the brow. I look and look.

Maybe you would like to take a look too.

Yes. You have to scroll horizontally.

It is not unusual to have the sun setting and the moon rising at the same time. Or visa versa!

I remember being in one of our first desert trips to Death Valley. I got up and saw the two at once. A big fat moon going "down" and the sun coming "up".

I got John up to see it.

We were alone in the desert outside the Furnace Creek Inn area.

I think that it is the setting that does it to me.

Here in the APOD we see anything but a desert. Still, it is riveting.
