I never used to pay any attention to astronomy as the science is way over my head, but lately I've become so fascinated by stargazing and moon photos, etc. I suppose it's just interesting to look up in the sky and wonder about what else is there. <br /><br />Thanks for the warning about holiday decorations, I hadn't thought about hackers but that is a real shame that it's an issue.<br /><br />Great post!Julie Flandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003737491313673214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-27370828262377004042011-11-30T14:55:23.107+00:002011-11-30T14:55:23.107+00:00Your posts are so interesting.

Pretty nifty. <br /><br />As training for our support role with the National Weather Service, many amateur radio operators take NWS SkyWarn classes.
