Keep looking up!

I haven't seen the PBS show "Star Hustler" or "Star Gazer" for a long, long time. But Jack Horkheimer used to end each episode with that phrase.

I didn't look up the other day and missed this:

Could have been worse. You could have hit it.

Remember to give way to the right.....

 

[Matthew]

I’ve seen that view a few years ago, Saturn was a little more towards the center of the moon.

This is Saturn. Jupiter is the one I had to evade.

Did you file a NASA form for that one? I forgot to ask in the other thread.

See and avoid, buddy, see and avoid.

Horkheimer is someone I haven’t thought of in many years. I used to love his segments on PBS.

I loved that show, grew up watching it. Was always on right before or after Star Trek. Tell my kids that all the time and when they were younger had them watching them on yT.

Uh, if I'm not mistaken Saturn is actually to the right due to the moon's gravitational effect on the light beam. Better to climb above.

Hey, is that Bozo the clown at 3 o'clock to 3-thirty?



Oops. Nope, it's @Skydog58!

EDIT: Really, I see a dog like @SkyDog58's avatar. Only saw a big clown nose at first. Wasn't meant to be a put-down.

I haven’t seen the Milky Way in a long time. When my parents lived in CO at 8500’ they also lived in an area shielded from light pollution. The sky was spectacular on moonless nights.

Where I live the sky is spectacularly clear at night. Sometimes the full moon is so bright I'll wake up thinking the outside lights are on.

The kids and I loved the Star Hustler! He was so not TV chic.

But have you ever heard about The man who hustles stars?”

That first picture was of Saturn a couple days ago.

Here's Jupiter in 2016:

Jack apparently passed away in 2010.

And his PBS show first aired in 1976.

Now we feel old. Ha.

I was unaware of his life long (apparently painful) respiratory ailment that eventually killed him until pulling up the Wiki article. Wow.

I AM NOT OLD! I only just turned 48 last week. I AM NOT OLD! I do remember those stargazer tidbits from PBS from somewhere in the 80's. I AM old.

WTF?!

Dude, lay off the LSD or crack pipe. Whatever you are doing, it is really messing with your mind.

Ah... now I see what you mean. Not sure how I missed it the first time.

Dude... that is CLEARLY Mickey Mouse.... well, with an admittedly misshapen right ear (left, from the viewer's perspective... which is, at this point, obviously warped to begin with...)

That is a fun place to visit.

Keep looking up!

Unless a flock of cows fly over, then I suggest keep running.!!!

 

[Matthew]

I don’t have to outrun the cows, I just have to outrun you!


Wait...flying cows? Yeah, I might aughtta keep running.

You probably had a couple of Stargazer episodes on VHS when you were recording something else..



Bring back AM Weather!!!!

And get off my lawn.

And, speaking of the Milky Way, here's a video that's oriented to show the rotation of Earth in relation to the Milky Way.

No, that ain't right. The Universe rotates around us.
