It was SO AWESOME to see them excited about the eclipse. Also, my oldest daughter can identify a couple dozen constellations by sight. That's more than me by far -- and I couldn't be prouder. :) My kids all stayed up to watch. It was SO AWESOME to see them excited about the eclipse.

Real bad, that is. They're posted. But now I have a personal assignment to learn how to use all the other settings on the digital camera. I want to be able to get good pics of things like the eclipse. I took some real pictures of the event. Real bad, that is. They’re posted.

It was just in the shape of a missile. Hmm. Saw the eclipse. Had online company in the form of Tom, John the Scientist, and Tania (<a href="http://snave.org/chatter/" rel="nofollow">back fence!</a>). Got accosted by a 5-year-old girl who tried to take me home with her as her new pet (her mother objected), so I even had some real-life company. ;) So they weren’t so much shooting a missile as they were shooting up a target for the satellite to hit.

Science guy on ABC said something along the lines of "Its not so much a case of us shooting down a satellite as it is shooting a relatively slow missile in a way that will cause the satellite to run into it."

We even got out the binoculars, and got great views.
