Brian, weather down here in outer eastern Melbourne 'burbs is very much like a Spring day..warm & pretty windy. Has been a bit cold of late so nice to see a bit of sun today! Love Autumn though, my fav season. Need more rain tho'..
Matt, thank you for your welcome! Gee, lucky you growing up in Finland - one of my biggest wishes in life is to see the incredible beauty of an Aurora! What an experience for you.
Yes, it is a little sad that so many ppl in this world don't/won't appreciate our lovely night skies..Am developing a permanent crick in my neck as am looking up ALL the time!! (love clouds & thunderstorms so painkillers are a staple in my cupboard due to constant sore neck, lol)
Such an amazing & beautiful Universe we have and to see where we are in the Galaxy is nothing short of mind-blowing - a tiny, pale blue dot hovering on the edge of the Milky Way! Astounding stuff.
Ken, also a big thank for your message too..yes, I agree, the IIS site here is excellent - such a wealth of info, very little else gets done in my house!! Love my Binos, they are pretty handy, a tad heavy so my biceps get a good workout.
Such a great place this IIS.
Amanda.
