While stargazing...

This past weekend Dan and I went to Galena, Il and had the opportunity to stargaze. Our B&B supplied each room with 1050 binoculars to look at the stars and had a really nice telescope which we used to view the moon and Jupiter.

Dan downloaded an app on his iPhone that was a dynamic star chart. You held it up to the sky and it showed you want stars, planets and constellations you were viewing.

Dan: Sarah, do you have the binoculars?
Me: Yeah, I'm looking for Pluto.
Dan: I told you before: Pluto is a ba-jillion million miles away! YOU CAN'T SEE IT WITH BINOCULARS!
Me: MAYBE I CAN! YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!
Dan: *laughs* No, I'M not, BUT PHYSICS IS!
Me: *laughs* That's going on my blog.
