JULY 2 2009 Listen to the sound of Jupiter from NASA here

My yard has viewing zenith straight up which is best and less atmosphere to have to view through and a South view where I can view M6 and M7 on fairly clear nights.

Most viewing here in Beaufort is best in winter time. The Moon is always a lot of fun to view! And our next home in space!

The best telescope and binoculars are the ones that you use the most!

Keep Looking Up!

First, I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish.
