Eiffel, Swan, and Moon
Might be a bit hard to see but the very new (or was it old moon) setting over Epcot last night. Click on image to make it a bit bigger.
Skyliner
I’m fascinated watching the gondola going over the mechanism on each of the poles. Gondolas do not fall off but you look up and wonder how it works. At the stations the gondola can be disconnected from the wire quite quickly. I’ve ridden them a number of times and it becoming one of my favorite modes of transport around Walk Disney World.
Moon Sunday Night
The Moon orbits Earth at a speed of 2,288 miles per hour (3,683 kilometers per hour). The International Space Station is traveling about 17500 miles per hour. So the Space Station takes 90 minutes for one complete trip while the moon takes 27+ days.
Half Moon
Half moon last night just after the latest SpaceX launch with people on board.
24 Hours Apart
Two views of the moon taken about 24 hours apart. The top one taken two days before the full moon. The second a day later. The moon rises a bit latter each day so the second one was closer to the horizon and so a bit bigger and oranger looking. If you look at both you can see there is a slightly different view of the moon. Just a bit of a turn but not much.
Blue Angel 6
