Sometimes you don’t need to leave home to see something neat. Here’s the International Space Station streaking past Taurus and the Hyades, as seen from my back deck. I maintained proper social distancing by keeping a minimum of 505 km between myself and the astronauts onboard the ISS. Venus is the bright point off to the right, and the waxing crescent moon is hiding low in the trees.
