I know others do this sort of thing all the time and it is not novel or unique but we did have a blast! I miss those old phones by the way .... except for the cords!<br /><br />Once again Mike you wax poetic in your postings. I am glad it was fun for you! You will be featured in my next posting about our second virtual adventure in lunar reconnaissance! I am happy that we can share our simple love for the universe this way. By the way I will never look at a Sierra t-storm the same way, love the "Sea of Showers."Sidewalk Universehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095332891688108093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450988270244461662.post-35871167923138643802009-07-01T09:34:12.390-07:002009-07-01T09:34:12.390-07:00Its hard to believe but this was one of the most e...Its hard to believe but this was one of the most enjoyable and fun observing("nonobserving"? sessions I have had. My astro pal Richie "The SUG" was simply masterful with his poetic description of la luna and its magnificent topography. It was as if Richie had me at his eyepiece observing the moon myself in spite of the 2000+ miles that separate us geographically. My moon charts came alive with each email as I struggled to respond on my Blackberry which I am completely inept on. What fun it was to anticipate a lunar landform entering the light of the lunar day and have a real time description of its beauty as I sat inside my house surrounded by my own Sea of Showers and Thunder. <br /><br />Thanks Richie for the great time. <br /><br />Is it odd for two adults to have this much fun this way? Maybe, but we repeated all again the following evening.
