Things I didn't know...

On Mars, the atmospheric dust leaves the daytime sky red or pink... but diffraction leads to *blue* sunsets... inverse of Earth. And moondust smells like burned gunpowder. And Lou's in Hanover has great blueberry pancakes...

The Mars sunset thing is so cool. I had no idea. Why were you smelling moondust?

Just say "No" to moondust. *gd&r*

I prefer starshine and solar wind.

woohoo for blueberry pancakes. I think I will skip the moondust, though.

Um, if you ever go to Mars, will you take a picture of a sunrise or sunset for me, please?

In the Moondust (to a tune that hasn't yet been written)

In the moondust, the air smells like gunpowder
In the moondust, my heart beats a little bit louder
If only we were on earth, dear, the air would smell so sweet
As long as we weren't in New York City or any Los Angeles Street
In the moondust, I think about sunsets on Mars
With the blue light coming down from the stars
It may smell funny, but my honey, let's enjoy the view.
I love that I'm here in the moondust tonight with you!

I may have to write the tune, just for you.
