Many small things fascinate me and one is observable out my sliding glass door. On the fourth floor of the OFH the perspective through that door is to the southeast. It's very nice having the morning sun shine in. But the the reality that fascinates me is what I observe at night.
My recliner is near the door. Looking past it to the TV the door is to the right. Even with all the light pollution of the city the evening star, aka, the planet Venus is available. When first seen it is very near the center doorpost. Looking back at the TV or my book for a bit, when looking up it appears slightly farther from the post. This process continues while I read or watch TV. What's being observed is the effect of earth's rotation. That this is so clearly observable I find fascinating. Yes, it doesn't take much to amuse me.😀
Takk for alt,
