Sky Scenes And Favorite Moon Shots

Usually when I discuss early mornings, the subject is sunrise. Sometimes, I get fascinated at what occasionally happens before the colors change from darkness to light. Like, for example, the position of the moon in relation to where the view of the sunrise will eventually be. To preface this undertaking with perspective, my patio door faces northeast from my bedroom. Perfect!

To put it in a nutshell, I love moon views. You name them, I like them. Half moons. Quarter moons. And let's not forget the all-important full moons. When the moon shines in that important position in the north-to-northeastern sky before sunrise and directly in view from my perch at the apartment, it's quite a sight. Adequate words can't describe what I'm telling you. Just try to picture those images in your mind as you read this. Oh, I could go outside, but no one will want to see me in my nighttime get-up. I prefer moon views from indoors, and it's much more isolated there. And I can't wait until the very next time, especially if my favorite, the quarter moon, rests in the part of the galaxy where I don't have to crane my neck. There's no morning like them. The moon, followed by the rising of the sun. All that, and my computer, and my coffee. Or, if I happen to be too tired, that's okay. I can view the wonders of science from my bed with the blinders opened if the position is just right. That's life.
