The forces of rotation caused red hot masses of stones to be torn away from the Earth and to be thrown into the ether, and this is the origin of the stars.

Jupiter and scope

Jupiter and scope

I took my scope outside for the first time in a while today.   So I took a pic to remember the moment.   But first I observed Jupiter for a minute, and then packed it back up and took it inside.   The whole property is brightly lit-- not even one dark spot.   I think I'll just be using my naked eyes and binoculars around hear for night sky observation.   You can leave  a comment if you want-- that way I know someone viewed it.   Public telescope nights started again at Montclair State University.
