Hi all, Yesterday night on the way to see Pale Male around 6.45 PM near WSH (Willard Straight Hall, on campus), I looked up at the sky as I geese calling. What a perfect V of Snow Geese (may be 60 or so) passed through Orion and parallel to Orion's belt. At one point all the geese were within Orion's four main stars I forget all the names, but Betelgeuse and Rigel are two brightest stars of them (gamma and delta? Others). Just close by was less than a quarter of moon. It made perfect composition for a shoot, but alas I did not have a camera with me! Today morning as the bus was turning into East Hill Plaza, a Common Grackle flew past the bus!
I am looking forward to next few days! Meena PS: Those who missed Pale Male, newer version, do see it you get chance!
