Messier Subject

I had forgotten that in my recent foray to acquire Steinbeck and MacQuarrie, I had also ordered An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth by Col. Chris Hadfield.

In truth, this is now the book I'd like to read prior to my travel reading.  While not quite a syzygy, I do think it's the alignment of 1) the talk about the sun by NASA's Mitzi Adams last weekend at our Planetarium 2) Hadfield's mustache and 3) Sunday's 4 minute viewing of the ISS.

Does anyone else run from the back yard of their house to the front yard to try to maximum the viewing?

I don't think I will ever tire of looking up at the sky on a clear night.
