I had an interesting early morning. Waking at 5:50 AM to let the dogs out, retrieve the paper and get coffee going I looked at the sky as normal with sleepy eyes. This AM I had not turned the lights on in the house along the way. Looking up at the sky I immediately noticed two slow moving satellites in close proximity moving through the region of the Double Cluster. Ahead of Zenith they were quite bright, as they approached they dimmed considerably. A few seconds later, a gorgeous long green tail followed a meteor moving north through Polaris. Then another, white tailed this time. It made for a great start to the day in Minneapolis.

Look up and be amazed,

Kent
