4. I saw it sideways last night. (planets were on the right)
Edited on Tue Dec-02-08 11:30 AM by Marrah_G
I thought it looked rather strange. I did not realize those were planets.

I remember thinking...."what a weird place those stars are in...I don't recall seeing them like that before"

24. Nature puts on a daily magic show. But, we're too "busy" to notice it.
There are no end to "wow!" moments every day, if we'd just pay attention to something other than our all important selves.

31. Holy crap, the other one was Jupiter? I didn't know.
Venus's exceptional brightness is unmistakable, but I thought the nearby body was a star. Cool!
