You know I would if I could...Have you ever thought to take up astronomy?
You know, meteor showers don't reach their peak until 2:00am.
You know what's really cool? When the moon appears as a thin crescent in the sky, the faint glow of the rest of its surface is actually earthshine. This is the sunlight that is being reflected off the surface of the earth and landing on the moon.
You know what else is really cool? During a lunar eclipse, the "blood red" effect is actually due to sunlight being defracted through the earth's atmosphere like a prism with the red component being directed at the moon.
You know what else is really cool? ((((You))).
