スペースシャトル (space shuttle)


昨日午前中まで降っていた雨が上がり夜になって快晴、午後10時半西から東の空へひときわ輝いて飛んでいくスペースシャトル、スペースステーション2機、家の真上を通過して行く、こんなにはっきり見えるとは思っていなかたのでびっくり、約3~4分位かな見上げている頭上を通過して行った。 (写真はよく取れなかったけど、よく見ると二つ光っているものがみえます)。
庭の方に一服しにいたら朝方雨だったためか蛍が多く飛んでいた。昨夜は輝くものが見れる日だった
幸運なことです。
Yesterday, it rained until noon but we had a clear sky last night. Last night, around 10:30 PM, I went outside and saw two bright star-like objects moving from west to east directly about the house. They were a space shuttle and a space station! I watched them for 3-4 minutes until they disappeared. I didn't think I could see them that clearly, so I was surprised. (the picture didn't turn out well... but if you look at it closely, you can see two shiny objects).
After that, I went to the backyard to smoke. Perhaps because we had a rain in that morning, I saw many firefly. It was a time to see all "shining" stuff last night. I felt lucky.
