Well, THAT was a rare sight last night at Long View Ciderhouse! A guest was doing some planespotting with my binoculars and what do we see but the "Doomsday Plane" casually flying by! 😱 Yep, an E-6B Mercury made its way down the East Coast and we happened to spot it. Keep looking up! You never know what you'll see.

Here be dragons! Who knew, in , nonetheless? So fun to run into Dan and Cherry from Dyer Family Kites at Walnut Hill Park this past weekend during the NAMI Connecticut Walk. What a great perspective of a few of their amazing kites. Let's work on capturing your favorite hobby from the sky!

Great time at Long View Ciderhouse last night, showing off our Sun to kids and kids at heart. So much perspective shift from hearing that the sunspot we saw (4436, I'm pretty sure) was larger than Earth. Check out this image from NASA for a great comparison!

There are few things more relaxing for us than a clear night sky, a fire, and time spent looking up. Venus and Jupiter have been making a great pairing lately, getting closer by the day until June 7-8, when it'll be spectacular. Let's plan a session to view it together!
