Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for July 03, 2021

Rose, Scorpio is a Summer constellation, but you’ll never see it and Orion in the sky at the same time. Maybe Sagittarius, but Amelia will tell you it just looks like a teapot!

Spud and Wallace can see him!

Shh!

Had to take my glasses off for an up-close look to be sure Wallace’s toes were bare..!

Spud has managed to not fall off the dock. That won’t last, if he keeps looking up at the stars.

And the seagull is thinking “That one looks like a half-eaten tuna sandwich”

As clouds can as stir our imagination, so can stars and groups of stars. If you really see a 3 ring circus, what an awesome imagination you must have. However, with Amelia, we know it’s sarcasm….

insert randomly funny comment of the day

Sadly, air pollution has all but wiped out our ability to see the faint lines that connect the constellations. They were a lot clearer to the Ancient Greeks.

Also, their drugs were really pow.

Shh.

Orion is a hunter, that’s his bow. With his dog Sirius. They’re chasing Lepus, the rabbit.

Just the version I heard.

My favorite Robert Frost poem.

Love the neighborhood squabble in the background. Can’t end well.

Constellations – the “connect the dots” of the astronomical art world…

Where I live now, with light pollution, it’s hard to discern the constellations.

Shushing battle!

My sister used to say that all constellations looked like giraffes to her.
