Amy's Place in CyberSpace

WELCOME, glad you stopped by. Here is a picture of my home. It is often referred to as 'The Blue Planet.' My husband Dave and I live near the large white cloud on the Gulf side of Central Florida. This photo was taken from the moon by Neil Armstrong in 1969 and is a view of the Earth rising from the moon's dark night. Browse through my pages and you are sure to find something of interest. My links are below, mid-page. Be sure to stop by my Astronomy page. Photo Gallery & Photo Gallery II are updated bi-monthly; sometimes more often.

Here is an excerpt from the song 'Stars' -- from the musical sensation, 'Les Miserables'. I have been star-gazing for many years now, so I liked the lyrics & thought I would share them with you. (And yes, I am a big fan of "our" Space Program). See the Astronomy page for more on that topic! AND please take the Space Travel poll on the Astro page!

"Stars in your multitudes,
Scarce to be counted,
Filling the darkness
with order and light.
You are the sentinels,
Silent and sure,
Keeping watch in the night
Keeping watch in the night.

You know your place in the skies
You hold your course and your aim
And each in your season
Returns and returns
And is always the same.
And if you fall as Lucifer fell
You fall in flame!

... Scarce to be counted.
Changing the chaos,
to order and light.
You are the sentinels
Silent and sure.
Keeping watch in the night,
Keeping watch in the night".
