Southeast USA
It was a crystal clear sky in North Carolina last night...
...I was coming home from Greensboro, North Carolina when I realized there was a New Moon. There was no Moonlight in the sky. The sky was completely black. I found an out of the way location around midnight and stared at the sky for some time. I could see the most distant stars glimmering in the night sky with the naked eye. There was not a sound in the area. The wind was silient and as I stood there looking at the Big and Little Dipper, the North Star, Orin's Belt, I recalled something.
The Wilson Observatory.
Shall we?
