Nice article. I just spent a lovely morning out in the sun here in Florida, as we prepare for the arrival of Dorian. Still, the sun was nice. Here's one of my shots of the launch of the Parker Solar Probe on ULA Delta IV Heavy back in July of '17 https://imgur.com/46sfqsD I took this from KARS park in Merritt Island, about 6 miles from the launch pad.

Two Bright Lights
by Sue Ellen Ebertz 14 Aug '19

Hi everyone! At about 11:30 pm or so, from the summit of Emmigration Canyon....I saw one very bright pinpointed light for fractions of a second or 1 sec, then disappeared, then happened again, almost the same magnitude, then disappeared, for good. I might be wrong if I guessed the magnitude, but I'd say 1 or 2, and very white. I'm not that great at labeling the sky meridians so I noted it was somewhere centered between Cassiopeia and the general area of the Big Dipper. Any thoughts on this? At first I thought it was ISS, which I don't think I have ever seen, but after checking charts, it was nowhere near the location. Perhaps a super nova? Thanks so much Best, Shoshana
