I had fun tonight

Tonight I got to do something that most people never get to do. I got to
look at Jupiter and 4 of its moons with my own eyes. I'm loving this new
telescope. I took Katie out to the bridge to nowhere and we set it up
for some stargazing. She got to see Jupiter for the first time. We
looked at a red giant 137 light years form Earth, Uranus, and a handful
of other stars. After we came back home, Rain & I went out and I showed
her Jupiter and we just scanned the sky for interesting star clusters
for a bit. It was definitely cool. I know what I'll be doing on some
clear nights from now on. :)
