The Sunday Morning Muse, July 29, 2007


Ever wonder, when you wish upon a star, exactly which star you are wishing on?


Imagine for a moment you are out in the yard, looking up at the stars. You're so impressed with the vastness of our little corner of the universe... all those little stars and planets. The big dipper is .... well, over there. You think. Constellations were never your strong point. Planets don't twinkle, right? Stars do. Ummm...





Well those days are gone. For a mere 400 bucks you can own a SKY SCOUT. Just point to whatever you want -- visible in the sky to the naked eye.... and presto! This thing tells you what you are looking at. Cool or what?

I was skeptical at first, it's relatively new, so there are back order problems and such.... and a few bugs with downloading software for some, but it is GPS based and seems to work well, doing what it says it does, according to some of the reviews I read online. I'd like to get one.
