Neptune is Easy

The average amateur astronomers may know, Neptune is easy at this particular nonce due to its proximity to Jupiter. Even a simple yet adorable appearing telescope like the Bushnell Voyager Family Table Top Model and a low power eyepiece may reveal Neptune in the same field as Jupiter. Many, sadly, could care less about average amateur astronomy, much less about the inconspicuous gas giant, Neptune. Why do the many eschew the signs or portents obvious in the heavens? Easy that, many lack the where with all necessary to espy the signs or portents in the sky. Out of sight, out of mind.

Yes. Many are blind or nearly blind. Many see poorly and don’t get glasses. Many see poorly and don’t get bins or a telescope. Many are crowded into light polluted areas. Many never look up. Many are afraid to go outside at night. Many go to bed at night. Many stay up all night watching TV. Yes. These are among the many reasons many are not fixing to espy Neptune any time soon or ever.

I, Crumby, urge many to head off to the nearest big observatory. When many arrive, demand entrance. Say to the responsible party in charge, I urgently need to espy Neptune. OK. If everyone lit out to the nearest big observatory, there is a slim chance the economy would be stimulated and all might then be OK after all.
