Anyone who uses an old typewriter this way gets my vote.
Even more so if their write up is astronomy related.
The above image was found on a sheet of paper hidden in an old astronomy book I picked up a few years ago.
Before I took up blogging, (18 years ago!!), I would often type up my astro observings on whatever typewriter I had handy.
Robin red breast in a nearby tree, the sleepy village church bell tolling ten times, the Sun shining bright and Spring like.
This spell of much awaited blue sky has been the backdrop for several recent wonderful astro events.
They included that much talked of planetary parade, (still didn't spot Saturn!), some amazing sea setting sunsets, a crescent Moon and a Venus & Mercury dance.
In the early evening last night as the frost began to grip the land, several old friends reappeared over towards the East.
Arcturus, Vega, Epsilon Lyrae, to name a few.
Those early evening stars like the ground bound daffodils and snowdrops, hint at the release of the Winter months.
Spring is definitely springing at the moment.
The Partial month of March:
There is a partial lunar eclipse in the early morning of Friday the 14th, plus a partial solar eclipse near midday on Saturday the 29th.
The camera will be ready, notebooks will be open, tea will be drunk, and cake will be eaten.
It's going to be a great month for sky watching.
Having for several months been distracted by world politics, and those fast change media platforms, I find myself wanting to sloowww doownn!...
