"We found 23 flybys over your area in the next 10 days"
That isn't all that much, I expected more.

Decades ago, my uncle came to visit us, but he had to be outside at a certain time. "Why?" "To watch SkyLab pass by" "You can see that?!"
I was never so fascinated by a dot in the sky. I knew SkyLab from pictures in books and the TV space shows, but to actually see it IRL through binoculars, wow.

I do have a broad range of interests. They may be fleeting interests but it keeps life from getting boring.
If your interested in celestial events, the Geminids meteor shower is suppose to be a good one on Dec. 13 and Dec. 14.

The Leonid showers are much more pleasant to watch while laying in the backyard with a beer in hand, but I'll still be checking out some falling rocks in the next little bit, I'll just have to bundle up more and take a break from making ice.
