Been a LONG time.
I have been handling a family emergency in the bush of Alaska since April and have had no Internet. Thank goodness my iPhone worked but no go on doing a blog!
It has been interesting watching the ever increasing time of deep twilight and seeing no stars due to our high latitude of 60 degrees.
I watched Venus until AFTER MIDNIGHT which could never be done in the lower 48. The Moon wad also much lower in the sky than in the lower latitudes.
I am returning to the lower 48 Friday night and will be starting up my presentations at Shenandoah National Park this Sunday at Big Meadows http://www.goshenandoah.com/activities-events/astronomy. I hope some of you could attend.
I look forward to seeing the stars again and blogging with you - this has been a physically and emotionally demanding time but I have made GREAT new friends and seen the best in people at a time when they were need the most.
Oh, here is a pic of brown bear tracks that were VERY close to where I was in the Bush and new born twin moose calves:
Together we have much to explore as New Horizons prepares to fly by Pluto next month and Rosetta continues to monitor Comet 67P.
Glad to be back.....
