Nighttime Out My Window

I have been staring at Jupiter and Venus outside my window every evening, amazed that I can see anything shining in the night sky with these bright city lights.  Since reading Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot, I have been feeling VERY small and insignificant in an extraordinarily beautiful and comforting way.  Spotting my friends Jupiter and Venus while listening to the city traffic zoom below me and enjoying the warm night air on my balcony has been quite dreamy, indeed.
