the clear autumn nights are good for night pictures.

mr. fleegan used some kind of app on his droid phone and all he has to do is point it at the sky and it shows what constellations are right there in front of you. it’s like magic, only with science.

mr. fleegan was pointing it at Jupiter and asked which constellations i wanted to know about. i pointed and said, “that one!”

“which one?”

“the zig-zaggy one.”

“aren’t they all kinda zig-”

“the one by the tree.”

“are you sure that’s even a-”

“of course it is. look at it. it has to be something.”

“it is something. it’s Casseopeia.”

“sweet!”

“sweet?”

“yes! i’m glad it’s Casseopeia.”

“why?”

“i thought it was going to be something boring like Cygnus.”

“why is Cygnus-”

“it’s a swan. i hate birds. you know this.”

“wow.”

“but Casseopeia! i mean, that’s something.”

“uh huh.”

“she was Andromeda’s mom, remember?”

“and why do you know that?”

“from Clash of the Titans. she was Ursula Andress’s mom.”

“let’s find that one.”

“jerk.”
