While strolling into the College of DuPage with old friends, and before meeting students and giving a talk, I noticed this marvelous display growing brighter across the western sky. Mostly north–south cirrus streaks bisected a deeply diffused contrail at right, produced by a long-gone aircraft. At left shone the waxing crescent moon. Fortunately we were early, and everyone could spare a couple of minutes to admire the view. If we fail to look up to the sky on a daily basis, what wonders do we miss? Seek beauty aloft, and it will become apparent.
