Вчера наконец–то выдалось ясное ночное небо и выперся, значит, я полюбоваться звездами.
Соловьи поют, комаров еще нет, звезды зихатять — идилия прям.
Звездопада, к сожалению, не случилось — ну да не суть.
Лежу себе на скамеечке, любуюсь — ну и боковым зрением замечаю движение звездочки в небе — практически параллельно горизонту. Ну самолёт может — не сильно интересно.
Взглядом возвращаюсь в зенит — ну и там тоже движется огонёк, на юг, если не ошибаюсь. Проводил его взглядом, опять взгляд в центр — а там опять, по этой же траектории, огонёк летит — прям дежа вю :). Посмотрел и за этим — опять глаза назад — а там снова — как гиф–файл в цикле.
Считать я сначала не сообразил — просто смотрел — выглядело не так величественно, как год назад — одним звездным "поездом" — но интересно наблюдать было.
В какой–то момент очередной огонек пересекся с траекторией другого движущегося огонька, справа от меня — тут опять дежа вю — пару минут назад я там видел пролет другого и он практически летел на той же траектории (легко понять так как он пролетал между парой звезд).
Опять вернулся взглядом — и давай уже считать — закончилось на 14.
Между огоньками интервал было примерно как между верхними звездами в ковше Большой медведицы.
Шоу окончилось и на последнем траектория опять пересекается с движущимся огоньком параллельно горизонту. И опять — траектория его почти повторяет предыдущих двух, опять пролет между двумя звездами, уже на условный сантиметр выше.
Я давай смотреть туда — но там ничего :)
Немного повернул лавку и лёг так чтобы эта область была у меня в периферическом зрении — еще пару мин — опять огонёк летит :)
В общем, через каждые 4 с половиной минут там пролетал огонек.
Я просмотрел еще 6 пролетов да и пошёл таки спать.

Теперь "движуха" в небе. Пока звездами любоваться не мешает нисколько, скорее как приятное дополнение к картине :)
Интересно как оно в дальнейшем будет

State reports 73 cases of children falling severely ill with toxic shock-like reaction that has symptoms similar to Kawasaki disease

• Coronavirus – latest US updates
• Coronavirus – latest global updates

The deaths of three children in New York of inflammatory complications possibly linked to Covid-19 has prompted Andrew Cuomo, the state’s governor, to warn of “an entirely different chapter” of a disease that had been believed to cause only mild symptoms in children.

The governor reported the first death, of a five-year old boy, on Friday. At his morning press conference on Saturday, Cuomo raised the number of fatalities to three, after the death of a seven-year-old and a teenager.

Only US is judged to have dealt with it worse, after it was reported the UK has the highest death toll of any country in Europe

More people in this country now believe the UK has performed worse than Italy, Spain and France in the Covid-19 crisis than say it has done better than its European neighbours, according the latest Opinium poll for the Observer.

The data shows that only the United States is judged by a majority of people in the UK to have fared worse. While two weeks ago more people thought that the UK had done better than Italy and Spain, now the reverse is the case.

Actor, author, and mother Twinkle Khanna on Saturday gave a shout out to all the 'bad-ass mothers' and shared what mother actually wants for the Mother's Day. In a video message which she posted on Twitter, Mrs Funnybones is seen talking about what mothers actually want from their children instead of all the fancy mother's day greetings.

"I am going to tell you what mother's really want for Mother's Day or what at least I want for Mother's Day. I want to be free of all responsibilities for an entire day. I don't want anyone to ask me any questions," says Khanna in the video message.

So what kind of mom are you — The bad mom, the badass mom or the badass mom with a good posterior? pic.twitter.com/x5q5OJ0I4V

— Twinkle Khanna (@mrsfunnybones) May 9, 2020

"Don't ask me where is your blue T-shirt, don't ask me what is 15+73, don't ask me what is going to happen to your 'A' level exams, don't ask me what's for lunch, don't ask me when you can go and meet your friend, don't ask me when the lockdown will lift," she added.

The actor turned author then spoke of how wishing to stay free of any responsibilities makes her feel that she is a 'bad mom' but deep down she also feels that she is a 'bad-ass' mom.

"Some of you watching this may think I am a terrible mom and sometimes I also wonder the same thing especially when my little one looks at me and calls me "Bad Mumma." But deep down I don't think I am a bad mom," the 46-year-old actor said.

"I think that I am a badass mom though I have a perfectly fine posterior. So here's wishing all you badass moms a happy mother's day and the ones with the good ass a happy mother's day to you as well," she added. Twinkle Khanna is a mother to two children -- a son and a daughter.
