Mars is above that.... it's about an hour ahead of the moon... did you see anything red above the trees?

Would it tint the sky kind of red? Is it that bright? The moon is also in the direction of the city, but it did seem to have a red tint.
 
Nope...

that's probably the city... a lot of cities use amber street lights... you can see better at lower wattage then the white street lights so they save electricity and money.


Mars will look like an airplane that is just "hanging" there
 
Thought it was the regular city lights...will have to look again for Mars. Saw a few REAL planes out there- does that count? ;)
 
Ummmmmmmmmmmm.....






no.


It is dark outside, remember? :D

I'll go back out and try again in a few minutes.

I saw it!

Hey, I saw it! The description helped. Very very bright light, just over the tree tops. Can't see moon though, it isn't high enough over that section of the trees. Getting cloudier, too.

it's a picture of the probe they lost on Mars last year...



looks kind of like a space ship... don't it?
That would have been my guess but I thought it had tracks on it.
 
Your thinking about Sojourner(sp)...

that's one that made it....

sent back pictures and everything... :D

the one in the picture got "lost"... when they sent it down to the surface they lost contact with it :( they have no idea what went wrong it. i

it's down there on the surface...






....somewhere......

(they have no idea what went wrong with it.

That's easy- the thing looks like it is made out of old car parts. No wonder it got lost. ;)
 
they lost that and another lander too.... (old car parts.... i like that...:D )

they Do know what happened to the second one....



they confused miles with kilometers.... Drilled it right into the surface they did...
 
Nasa did that? Gives you great confidence in their ability, doesn't it?


Bed time for me, time to dream of Mars and stars.
Sweet Dreams, Mink!
 
Good Morning! Beautiful warm, sunny day ahead- TGIF!

Mink, you have mail.:) *muah*
 
Got it! You've already made my day. Very cool. Thanks! :D

Will answer it before I log off and head to work.
 
You didn't ask anything. That doesn't keep me from talking though. You'll have to tell me to shut up for that to happen. ;)
