The Lyrids aren’t due until mid to late April but they’re expected to give us almost 20 meteors an hour. You just have to get out sometime after midnight when Lyra rises in the East.
Interesting juxtaposition – a comic strip using no words tells us much about the value of TV. While TV, of course uses lots of words. Lots and lots and lots of words. Many times, words that won’t be found in comic strips. So many lessons in here…
I like the night sky. And I live in a town that brags that it gets over 300 days of sunshine a year… but somehow, if there is a meteor shower or a comet, it is ALWAYS cloudy that night…
Panel 3 quite well sums up most of TV for us. We dropped TV part of our internet/TV package in December. Have not missed TV programs at all, and we do not stream.
hey !…the original ‘the day the earth stood still’ with michael renee is absolutely the best sci-fi flick ever…with a positive moral….and Gort too! ( klaatu barada nikto )
I thought this might have been a reference to the fact that the International Space Station was supposed to have been visible last evening appearing as a thin line of light.

Bad move of watching the “News”? Or “The Day the Earth Stood Still” or some end of world disaster movie?

In sharing a romantic moment like this there is a good chance that not only will Orion rise. (check the star pattern in panel 4)

Television is pure garbage… People talk about the tripe, and I am so glad I kicked that out the door. I haven’t watched TV in 10 years.

Mother Nature (by the hand of GOD) puts on the best show, anyway!

Less TV, more nature. Fixes a lot of ills.

The “stars” are not shinning on TV so they went outside to see them.

If you have a lot of time on your hands, TV can be a comfort. Otherwise, not so much.

That’s the way I feel every time I turn on the TV anymore. Outdoors is far more interesting especially with my dogs.

Throw out your TV, there is an entire world out there full of wonder if you have eyes to see.

I like this. Life isn’t always funny, though it often seems like a joke. There are times life is a joyful moment that we participate in.
Thank you for reminding me.

Light the fire pit. TV such a waste until college football.

We stayed outside last week and enjoyed watching the fireflies in the evening. I am easy to entertain.
