I had hoped to get more photos of comet PANSTARRS, but with my telescope, the best lens I have, instead of a zoom lens. However, schedule conflicts and weather interferred. So, while I lost the comet, I found this instead:

It's great. You can use it to tell the time as well as how cloudy it is. It makes a great calendar, and if you stare closely at it, it will invoke awe and wonder regardless of your age. Steeped in legend, it is a great source of metaphor. And it works without Internet or GPS.
