look out this window or we look out the windows in the Coupola were absolutely amazed and and the same thing goes for being on board a space shuttle and I would say that two nights ago I probably saw the most amazing thing I've ever seen in space and that's saying an awful lot because every day is filled with amazing things and that was we were flying over Tasmania we'd actually just seen the storms and the South Pacific over the Philippines and it was nighttime thunderstorms lighting up the entire sky and then just before the sun came up the Ursula was you know lit up as a sliver of blue and purple and then there was this long green arc that extended probably 10 degrees or so from the horizon actually from the perspective of the Coupola which in which case were upside down up you know in my field of view upwards in fact it disappeared behind the gem at least 10 degrees I think 20 earth or 20 moon diameters if you think about it in those terms and I had no idea what it was it was a long green glowing arc and turns out it ended up being being a comet that somebody in Tasmania had seen about the same time comet love joy that had passed about 140,000 kilometers from the surface of the sun when it disappeared behind the sun I think astronomers thought it would not appear again it probably would burn up but it's probably the most spectacular thing you can imagine and from the vantage point of space it's different than seeing it from planet earth because there's no intervening atmosphere to see so we took some really neat pictures last night of it about a hundred or so that we hope to make a movie out of but just wanted to toss that out in case you're interested it's quite a place
