Up Up and Away

Tonight we were able to see the Delta Satellite go over head after being launched from Cape Canaveral. It went directly over the harbor and the first burn was really visible. Later I found out that the satellite will monitor conditions and watch for storm development on earth. It was impossible to take pictures of the satellite tonight, but last March we were able to see and photograph a shuttle launch at sunset, that was really intense and lit up one of the nearby clouds.
