Hi Bob,

Thanks! I was out stargazing for awhile tonight as well. Its unseasonably warm tonight as it has been for days and a perfect night for viewing celestial wonders.

About twenty years ago I took up astronomy as a hobby and so often wondered if we would ever send a manned mission to the two earthlike companions that circle Barnard's Star, our closest galaxy. But alas, we are no where near going there today. I wonder still, are there people like us over there wondering if they'll ever get to whatever they call our Star? Perhaps, on a Blue Moon in 2030 we will both be going and meet in the middle near a Nebula called Andromeda.

Food for the grey cells on a moonlite night.
