pickI‘m always, always amazed at how far we have come with technology. What an amazing tool humans have created in the James Webb telescope. This book is how it came to be, what it can do, and touches on discovered seen with the telescope. Amazing, what we know now and the possibilities we can learn about the universe. I will say, the political/governmental red tape parts got a bit dry. But otherwise, a pick.
This was an amazing book. Uncle Henry teaches his niece and nephews the constellations from his lake beach, drawing in the sand and using pebbles for stars. The children have fun learning and finding star people. Then in the winter Uncle Henry goes to their apartment and teaches them more using a chalkboard on the roof. I like the stories and pictures. I have the 1928 book.

pickIf a history of the astronomical observation of Jupiter, an overview of its likely formation, tabulation of its physical metrics, a summary of the characteristics of its major satellites, a review of planetary probes that have visited it, details of Jovian meteorology, and tips on amateur observation and recording of its changing features, all illustrated with photos and diagrams, sounds interesting, then this is a book for you. And for me 😁
After reviewing my decision to read a book likely to focus to some degree on trauma and marginalisation, I decided to switch to this illustrated book about the planet Jupiter, and open myself to the wonders of nature and the universe 🌌
In the cup is a cinnamon and plum green tea 🍵
I'll get to the other book next year.
Went with my son to his favorite gluten free bakery and had some great coffee and read a little.
It‘s always kinda weird to read a book and the day‘s date pops up. 😆 🎃
Re: the candy. We hope there are people who bring their kids around here. In our last place there weren‘t very many kids. But it‘s already nearly 6:30 here and no one yet. 😞
Go Dodgers. 😊

Good Monday morning. Game 7 of the 1960s World Series. Pirates v Yankees. And reading during the commercials. Last week was a rough one here, so I‘m hoping starting things right will help things along. 😊

Does the book count as scary if you read it at your 16yo‘s doctor appointment where their BP was high and the doctor says, “has anyone ever mentioned a heart murmur before?” after listening to his chest?
I think I impressed the staff with how calm I was. They have no idea that this is not my first rodeo and, in comparison to other Dx my other kids have had, it‘s pretty innocuous. 😆 Tests are OK so far, though. Still, I think it should count. 😜
The view from my back porch last night:
sunset and moonrise
view from the back porch — in awe
of nature‘s glory. 🌙
