So I was just letting Lucky out for a weewee . .

The Backwards Man

And we were looking up at the moon and the stars.

The moon is especially beautiful right now, and the stars are just . . well, . . .have a look for yourselves.

Did you ever just look up and think . . . WOW!!!

?

Poetry, Astronomy...what's happening AH lately? Might have to change it to EH - Enlightenment Hours.

We can change the Astronomy forum to After Hours as the name suits it much more aptly.

Fair play for escorting the missus outside for a piss, I usually let mine wander out alone.

I always do it when back at the home place as its rural and you get a pretty incredible view of the night sky. Certainly in comparison to when in the City, whereby you can see nowt.

Night of the 'Super Moon' I grabbed a sleeping bag and a beer, and lay out back for a while.

Yeah, some people are probably right in thinking that's weird. But was it worth it, and would I do it again? Absolutely.

Yes, the moon looks moony and the stars look starry,

Shocking.

Nothing but clouds.. I assume you live in the country because I can't see shít in town and I love astronomy..

Seeing the milky way was impressive. One of the downsides of living in the city is not getting those views.

Make sure you're not having a wee in a crowded urban centre. It can lead to misunderstandings.

Every animal I've known to be called Lucky has met some form of unfortunate end :pac:

Here's my random hippie thought:

[HippieThought]If people took a little more time to look up at the night sky once in a while, there would be a lot less problems in the World. Trivial ones, anyway.

Its great for helping you to hit some deep cognitive thought, or even to just reset your perspective to the here and now.[/HippieThought]

I'm in middle of nowhere, and my wow moments are every single starry night when I take dog out, milky way always visible but some nights more awe inspiring (like slap in the face inspiring), and I could pretty much guarantee that standing out on a clear night 10minutes (or less) one would see a meteor. Loads of them.
Sweet f all with the fog tonight though.

Take your doggy and get yourselves to Donegal, it's clean clear to Ursa Major here!:)

The only thing I miss about my 4 years in arklow is the fact that you can see so much more of the night sky than you can here in Dublin

When I'm doing a weewee I often look at down and think "wow.... look how awe inspiring it is"

My dear little Flo
I love you so
Especially in your nightie
When the moonlight flits
Across your tits,
Jesus Christ almighty.

I'm up all night Til the sun
I'm up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky

Often do that, and wonder are they having the same problems with their phones battery life duration, and darn famous rock bands sticking decent albums on their population's music devices up on alpha centurion distict (west) of local planet 2.0121-1.618, imagine they're looking across thinking the exact same thing, sure what can ye do...

Living in rural Ireland, I got a telescope because as already stated, a clear sky at night is awe inspiring. It makes one feel so small in the vastness of the universe, makes one wonder what is out there...

Love looking at the planets, I have a particular fondness for Saturn which I think looks beautiful.

Then things like Hale Bopp in 1997 was just absolutely spectacular and to think the last time it was seen was approximately 4,000 years ago.

Saturn is awesome (in the literal sense, not the American response to anything good) but Jupiter is the daddy of the solar system... The giant red spot is basically a hurricane type storm the size of earth. Thats just amazing...

I love Orion, it is a constellation that has fascinated me for years.

The light we see today from Betelgeuse is from before Galileo existed.

It may already have gone supernova.

It would already have engulfed the earth if it was our sun.

She isn't called Lucky for nothing.

I love the stars, I like the feeling of insignificance the night sky gives me. It gives me perspective on my problems.

Illuminating fact.

Many of the stars you're looking at is how they appeared millions of years ago and they no longer exist. When you look deep into space you're looking back in time.

Yep.

Tried explaining that to the dog but she's finding it difficult to grasp the concept.
