The full moon seen above the city of Baltimore on Thursday, August 6, 2009. Sky gazers also caught a glimpse of the planet Jupiter which passed three degrees south of the moon.

Interested in getting a closer look at the night time sky? Stop by the Maryland Science Center’s Observatory on Friday nights for Stargazing Fridays. The Observatory is open 7:00 p.m. – 10:30 p.m., weather permitting. Admission to the Observatory is free.

Ever since I borrowed a camera from a friend of mine eight years ago, I have loved sharing what I see through the lens of my camera with the world. There is nothing better than making somebody feel like they were right there with you. A brief moment in time, by way of photography, can say so much. I hope that these brief moments in time point people in the direction of someplace, something, or someone that they may not be aware of, and that they are curious enough to go see for themselves.
