To him that by wisdom made the heavens:
for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him that stretched out the earth above the waters:
for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him that made great lights:
for his mercy endureth for ever:

The sun to rule by day:
for his mercy endureth for ever:

The moon and stars to rule by night:
for his mercy endureth for ever.
(Psalms 136:5-9)

View of southeastern sky while searching for meteors from the anticipated May 24 storm; saw none; shower fizzled and our sky is too light polluted. Constellation in center is Hercules with Corona Borealis to the right and the zero magnitude star Vega to the lower left.

Thin, high overcast much of the day today with a nice tangential arc and an attendant sun dog just before sunset.
