Each year, thousands of local residents enjoy an enchanting evening under the majestic, moss-covered oak trees at Bok Tower Gardens' annual Concert Under the Stars. This year is no exception. Under the direction of Music Director and Conductor Mark Thielen, The Imperial Symphony Orchestra will deliver a varied musical program in the incomparable setting of Bok Tower Gardens, on Saturday, May 5 at 8 p.m. with the theme From Star Wars to Star Dust. The Gardens will open at 6 p.m. for admission. Good launch of the Endeavour to the International Space Station this week.
Some cloud cover.
If you have the opportunity, the night launches are the best. Still, seeing that tail of fire pushing the shuttle into space is nonetheless spectacular by day. Just watched the successful launch of a Delta 2 rocket with the Odyssey space probe aboard. This mission to Mars was launched from Patrick Air Force Base which is just south of the NASA facility at Cape Canaveral. A really beautiful day with little cloud cover made this launch exciting.
