The cold dark clear sky might show you something cool this weekend

If I can nerd out about space for a second that would be great! I talked to Annie who lives at Little Red Reserve. She was working overnight security and noticed something in the sky. A string of stars that moved from “East to West”.  Annie went on to describe what she saw as over 80 lights in a nice row moving together in the sky.

Earlier this week Elon Musk’s space program SpaceX launched a series of satellites and will launch even more in the future.

Now of course we don’t REALLY know that it was the new Starlink satellites that Annie saw. But chances are good that it was, still, I for one will hold on to the belief that we are not alone in the universe…one day our space neighbours whoever they are will introduce themselves.
