Liking it!

Last night I sat at a restaurant overlooking the Hudson river. As it
got darker, I first found Venus, Luna, Mars, Mercury, and then later
Saturn and Jupiter, which were blocked by buildings from the window.

Dinner was ok, but the 'entertainment' was out of this world!

Very nice, indeed, but you failed to mention the biggie: You also
captured a UFO.

(We on Earth choose our astronauts from the best and brightest of our
engineers, pilots, and scientists, and we send them to explore the
mysteries of the Universe; but if what I read is to be believed,
extraterrestrial civilizations are expending incalculable resources to
send sexual deviates across unimaginably vast distances for the sole
purpose of sexually abusing persons who live in trailer parks in the
southwestern United States.)

Some questions about this photo. Why is the Moon so small compared to Venus?
Otherwise very nice picture, is there a newsgroup that speicalizes in this?

Of course my favorite picture of this type is here.
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020509.html
Although this is mostly for the date of the picture and the location, the
date being my birthday. If I believed in astrology I would think it
important.

That's a wonderful line. I'm about to do my semiannual class lecture
covering moon-hoax theories, the Mars Face, the Missing Day,
and so on - and will have to find a chance to quote that statement.
