This video was posted on Kim Komando’s site today. It’s of a meteor, smashing into the Earth’s atmosphere at Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It happened November 20th, two weeks ago. It created an amazing glow. A police car camera actually caught this on tape! Cool! Watch and see.
In other astronomy news, there’s an amazing converging of the moon, Jupiter, and Venus this week. The big show was last night. They are so beautiful, shining like glimmering diamond rings.
This converging won’t happen again until 2052. I probably won’t be here for that, lol. Venus and Jupiter are going to come back into this position in 2011 and 2012, but without the moon. Amazing! You can read more about that here.
I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

My hubby and I saw the moon/Jupiter/Venus alignment last night–very cool! Doubt we’ll be around for it again either, LOL.
