Doing the science is so different from watching it being done. I could hardly keep up with all of the duties, which was great because the time went by very fast. Everyone on the ship has made me feel very welcome. Last night I went up to the ship's bridge where the control instruments and guidance computers are located. At night the inside lights change from white to red.
Red light allows people to retain their night vision.
I still had trouble seeing around the bridge. I only recognized people by their voice for the first twenty minutes. I had hoped to see the comet pass by the Big Dipper, but the clouds refused to leave. I finally gave up and today it is raining lightly. It doesn't seem to bother the black-footed albatrosses that continue to follow the ship.
