The clouds were moving fairly quickly so they have ended up blurred and covering more of the sky than was apparent when I took the picture. Also, the spinning of the earth turned each pin point star into a little line segment. I think it&#8217;s really cool that here at a latitude of 39&#xb0; we&#8217;re moving at over 800 miles per hour as we spin around the earth&#8217;s axis. For course that doesn&#8217;t count the 66 thousand miles per hour we&#8217;re hurtling through space as we orbit the sun. Anyway, during a 30 second exposure the earth turns one eighth of a degree. Hopefully that doesn&#8217;t make you dizzy. If you prefer, you can think of this as a pretty picture of the night sky. That works for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After picking Dorothy up at Julia&#8217;s house this evening, I set my camera on the roof of the car, told Dorothy to sit still, and fired off a 30 second exposure.
