Absolutely! Getting "lost" looking up or listening to music.....is peaceful, awe inspiring and especially with astronomy is breathtakingly beautiful. Such wonderful feelings! 😊

Thank you! That's so kind! I LOVE music. Transports me to another place where I can just "be". 😊

💯

A fantastic hobby indeed! 😊

Wow! 🔭

I smiled to myself late last night! 😁 My children and a few close friends know how much I love looking up! ✨ I picked my son up from the cinema last night and as we were driving home 🚗 he asked me if I was going out as it was a very clear night! I said of course. 😊 So we got home and he looked up and pointed and said Orions Belt yeah mum .....I said yep that's right! He said that star beginning with B is the nearly Supernova one yes? I smiled and said yes it is! He said where's the cluster you love, I pointed to the pleiades! He then said oh good because I showed Cristie (his girlfriend) all of those the other night! Fast forward an hour or so and I'm out with my binoculars looking up and within the space of ten minutes two of my friends text me 📱 to say "Clear night Claire, bet you're out"! 😂 They both said they'd had a look up and thought wow! Ten minutes later a colleague text me saying she'd just showed her husband Orion and his belt like I'd pointed out to her one night while we were working! So this brings me back to why I smiled to myself late last night..... The sharing of something I absolutely love, the sharing of a passion impacts others! Point someone's gaze gently upwards and the absolute majesty and wonder of the night sky takes over them too. The universe softly plays her music to all.....to all who are prepared to listen. 🥰

I shall be posting this then.....🤐 🤣

😁🔭

I'm looking forward to this day very very much! 😁🪐

Something you never forget! 🙂

🤣 🤭

Sedation!! 🤣 Bring on those clear skies then! 🙂

If you could kindly arrange for clear skies in North Wales I'll be out there! 🤣 They are top of my list to observe! 🙂

Just the moons, I could have focused in more but I was more than happy with what I saw! 😁

Thank you!

Outside it was dark, it was cold, but her heart was warm inside. She was struggling to catch her breath in absolute awe of what she'd seen for the first time. Jupiter.....the King.....the Lord of the night....the protective one.....the Master. There he was in her telescope eyepiece. In all his glory, his splendour! He captivated her heart like never before.....whispering so softly to her through the Universe's gentle music, caressing her soul. She was blessed, she was oh so grateful. She said her most heartfelt thank you to him for showing himself and his Galilean moons so freely, so openly to her! She felt so very very small but in a beautiful kind of way. She felt incredibly lucky and humbled to have seen the King in all his captivating, majestical beauty! This encounter would change her.....forever. Jupiter.....you are loved. Jupiter.....you are admired. Jupiter.....you are perfection. Jupiter..... I promise I will always know where you are. You are in the tender most part of my being.

So nervous! 😬

I read this morning they didn't use full rocket power either so they could control James Webb better as ut can't slow down! 🚀

First correctional burn has gone well! 😁 Looking good so far!

I've everything crossed! 🤞🤞🤞

Couldn't have gone any better! 😁 So very relieved!

James Webb...........speechless! I've had sleepless nights about this day! I've been beyond excited! 🎉 Now let's hope everything goes to plan! 🤞 GO WEBB!!! 😁🔭 Oh......and Merry Christmas! 🎅⛄🎄

Thank you! I am!! Well.....when it's clear!😂

Thank you.
