I’m waiting for a cup to become filled with coffee and looking through a kitchen window at my favorite satellite. I am astonished again, at myself, for feeling fond of that which isn’t a natural star or moon but a people-made satellite. In my heart, in these early mornings, I’d love to see a natural sky element, having it be as bright and equally as in place, and as steady as this satellite.
Daily, I spend moments gazing at that easy-to-locate satellite; it’s my morning buddy. From way up there, it shines clearly, easily is sighted, and reassuring in an always-position. That satellite is a continuous factor, it’s dependable and unchanging. Those are pleasing to sense nowadays when such attributes lean unsteadily.
Dear Friends: It’s another early to-work morning, and I must be off. Diana
Say what ? ! ? You got me on this one. ? “people-made satellite” ? “steady”?
People have put up a ton, more actually, of functional satellites that stay in place (many now wearing out & becoming space junk, but that’s a whole other topic).
The people-made satellites that stay in place that I can think of are too small to be seen by the naked eye except maybe at night.
Maybe when you explain it will be obvious.
(Maybe I’m exhausted from watching too much news out of Congress, & therefore not thinking straight. Another other topic.)

I can explain that the bright light is visible to my naked eye each morning; it’s very high in the sky, in the direction of the airport. Its location at that hour never changes. It might be associated with the airport. And, yes, to my knowledge, we humans create and launch satellites.
