This photo was taken on July 6, 2006.
While Maggie and Katie were visiting, we took out my daughter's 8 inch telescope and had a peek at the moons of Jupiter (we think we saw SIX!). Later we looked at our own moon - Earth's only natural satellite. I decided to try to take a picture. Who knew that if you held a digital camera up to the eyepiece that it'd take such a good shot? Now - this isn't as great a photo as astonomers take - but heck, we thought it was pretty slick!
