I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
Like yesterday's bow, today's bow dates back to last year and the summer reading program. I don't remember who the focus was that week, but she was both a Missourian and involved with rocket science. Hence...
...oh, I'm a rocket man! LOL, I think the Etsy seller is MoFunAccessories. This would be about their speed. If you want a hair dec that's over-the-top, MoFun is your place to go.
I'm completing this post on the fly, so I'll talk a little bit about the night sky, which I love. When I was a little kid my favorite thing to do was lie on my back and look at the sky, but I usually did this during daylight hours cause...well, when you're a little kid nighttime is bedtime. When I was skygazing my favorite thing to look for was biplanes. I'm not sure why, except maybe that biplanes are a little different from regular airplanes. But I didn't get to do a lot of nocturnal skygazing, and thus I didn't know about airglow until I was in college. For the uninitiated, airglow is a subtle green glow that the atmosphere has during the night. It's visible from space too. Atmospheric Optics advised that in order to see airglow one had to be outside for awhile, letting their eyes adjust to the darkness. The site describes the phenomenon in a slightly poetic fashion:
I was nineteen when I read that for the first time, and my first thoughts were "I'm gonna try that when I get a chance!" When I was twenty-two I got to try it! One of my college classes had a field trip, and we spent an afternoon and evening culling stunted crappie on Perry County Lake. It was my first time on a boat, my first time wearing a life jacket, my first time seeing a water moccasin (!!!), etc, etc, and I was loving every second of it. We were out well after dark, and being miles away from the nearest sizeable town on a clear night meant that one could see to Gallifrey and back. So...yeah, y'all can guess where I'm going with this. I lay down in the floor of the boat, on top of a reeking pile of dead croppie (I admit it), and I held up my hand to the sky. Sure enuff, my hand was silhouetted against the sky, and the sky itself had a soft glow. One of my friends asked what in the world I was doing, and I got to explain my madness to him. It was great. I could've stayed out there all night...except that I was filthy and beginning to itch. But if you're ever out late on a clear night, give that a go. It's pretty neat, holding up your arm and it being the darkest part of the sky.

"...the sky itself will be seen to be luminous and a hand held towards the heavens will be a black silhouette."
