Stargazing

Hi all,

It’s finally warm enough in the evenings to go stargazing. Most buildings have lights on through the night on campus, but if you go out past the football field, you’ll be surrounded by our golf course and various athletic fields, making it a perfect place to stare up at the sky.

Last night, some friends and I took blankets out to the fields and lay under the stars. It was a perfect night, not because it was clear but because it was cloudy and windy with a bright, almost-full moon. The wind was blowing the clouds around in all directions. The moon lit up the clouds enough that we could spot shapes and objects in them, just as one would do on a warm day.

The moon was especially pretty to watch as the clouds danced around it. I can’t wait to go out on another beautiful night, though tonight will sadly be too cloudy.
