Late last night, or very early this morning however you may like it, my son and I made a breakthrough of astronomical proportions. We discovered the Moon.
Well, all right, not exactly discovered it. But we were able to sight it from the front porch of Hessel Homestead in the glorious Upper Peninsula of Michigan, using a telescope. We were trying to get a close up view of the Buck Moon, a form of a lunar eclipse.
We didn't see the eclipse. In fact we had trouble seeing the Moon. It's harder than it looks, lining up a telescope. But we figured it out, and saw the Moon at least a bit more close up than usual.
So, for us, we discovered the Moon. It's been a great day in Cosgriff scientific history. The Man in the Moon was no doubt laughing with us and not at us. We are relatively certain of that.
