Jupiter and the uniqueness of a tree

I have been noticing the bright star in the sky again and checked it out - it's Jupiter still. I thought I had read that it had passed by but it's still ehre so so bright. Apparently very close by is Uranus but I don't think it is too clear.


And to the left is the costellation Cetus - I can see the star Mira
Cetus

Apparently Saturn will be high in the sky until just beofre dawn. I will look out for it as it is possible to see it with the naked eye as a yellowish star but not as bright a Vebus which will be partially viewable. Satrun apparently will be around until September and appearing earlier and earlier in the night sky.

For some reason these planets and the stars capture my senses. I can feel something stir deep inside me. Just as a tree seems to tap into my soul.

Did you know that here, Bliss, in the unseen and in worlds far removed from your own, trees actually have personalities as strong and distinct as your own?

True... it's the same where you are, but no one would ever believe it.

I watched the 3rd in the series the Human Planet. This time looking at living on ice - Greenland and northern most parts of Norway. Fascinating, dangerous, my experiences of life are so limited. I feel the connection often with the inhabitants of this planet as well as teh sound of the Universe.
I thank the BBC for such an incredible ability to bring planet Earth to me. macro, macro, midi, mega
