Happy Solstice!

Here in NC it stayed low near the horizon and went below horizon about an hour after dark got here.  You had to get out early with a good horizon view to see it.
It was still spectacular!

So you are saying they were real and spectacular?

Does anyone know which one of Jupiter's moons was visible just to the right? That was cool.

I think that was Ganymede.

We had a pretty good view here. Had to climb a hill in our neighborhood because of an apartment building blocking the view to the horizon. There were about three other families up there. It was neat, though I confess I was a bit underwhelmed.

Also, my 3-year-old was running a fever, so we didn't stay out long.
