Bright lights in the sky

So last night we feel asleep about 9pm and woke up again at 11pm. And then we each lay in bed reading, trying to fall back asleep.

At about 3am, I asked Angi “is that light in the sky blinking?” We waited a few minutes to see if it was airplane but it didn’t move. So I looked for and downloaded a sky map app.

That app (aptly named Sky Map) is so cool! You point your phone at the sky and it tells you the names of many of the stars and planets you can see. You move the phone and point at a different part of the sky, the map moves too.

So it turns out that we were looking at Canopus (a star with limited visibility in North America). And the blinking was caused by atmospheric interference.

Being in a location where you can see lots of stars is kinda cool.
