"A Night". Starring the sky !

^{Drawing by gymnastperf10 on the PBS Kids site}

The sky achieved a rare clearness last night. I would have loved to take a photograph. It would have required a good one minute exposure @ f4, except the result would have been impressive.
It is the first time I got scrary looking at the sky, so much the spectacle was unreal.
It is also the first time I notice the relative movement of the stars in the celestial space. Stars are not now where they were, say, in July.
That much I knew and have known for many a night. Yet I've rarely been on the same spot so long (6 months) to observe this movement, out of a city that is, for as a kid, although I would look up, I wouldn't know those changes et no one around me seems to care enough to teach me.
On my star map, we read the months on the outer ring, thus allowing us to vaguely figure celestial bodies positions over us. Except that to see it for real is something way more impressive.
For a moment, I had the feeling of being on another planet, not because the stars were unfamiliar, but more like the limpidity was new to me.
In my next home, I will undoubtedly have a skylight - even a glass roof - where in the winter time I will observe the sky as long as I wish to, without freezing in the tenacious coldness that forbids long stays outside, motionless.

Don't be blindfolded by the starry sky, have you Googles on.

In another matter and though it looks like stars, the people at Google have decided to pay respect to the conceptor of brail, Louis Braille, born in 1809.
Once more, people at Google are showing their dynamic presence on the web while other seem to be laid back and static.
