TAKING A DIP

I often say that the only constellation that I know is Orion.

This is true as far as it goes but not true in the entire galactic sense.

I also know the Big Dipper when I see it but only when I see it. I haven't ever paid enough attention to know where it at any particular time.

Now, though, I see it every morning. First thing in the sky. It hangs over the north eave of our back patio and doesn't seem to move from that location.

Is that possible? No. Actually not.

Because it is so far north, its sweep is not as big and wide as Orion so it appears to always be there. We are more revolving around it.

This video explains it.

Not so important as I have become used to seeing it every day as I take a feel of the temperature. I look up and there it is.

Sorry, I don't see a bear, me.

It has been cold lately so I don't spend much time at all looking.

Just a glimpse.

Good morning.

Listen to this guy. I'll bet that he is from Canada. "Ooouut".
