I woke up a week ago at 4 a.m. and the sky was uncharacteristically bright and clear. Usually we get fog wiping everything out under a dull orange blotter. But this was really gorgeous ... the domed sense that the sky gets was really in place. Venus simply blazed through the kitchen window. I padded out barefoot and was treated to a late winter's sky - Sirius on the meridian, Orion beginning its march down to the Western horizon, Jupiter and Saturn low in the west, their brightness relative to each other making me think of a big soup bowl and its misplaced spoon. The gibbous moon was near the face of Taurus. I looked until I started shivering.
