Stargazing

[the_passerby5981]

For android users, you might wanna download Google Sky Map. It's a free app that identifies the stars for you. Check it out.

I guess I may call myself a stargazer in my own special way. Compared to my nephew, who has his own telescope & even draws & paint the constellations in his spare time, I'm just a newbie but I had my own share of stargazing experiences.

 

Like what I said, I don't have a telescope but I usually look at the sky at night & I've seen a few of those constellations. Sadly, I can only identify the Big dipper (Ursa Major). I cannot name the other groups of stars I see every night but it's nice to be able to follow their movements & position each night. There's even this group of stars w/c move from the East to the West w/c I always look at in a clear night sky. I watched this movie w/c mentioned of a group of stars. One of the protagonist mentioned that it was the Hunter's Stars. I think it's actually Sagitarius and the movie's title was "10,000 BC".

 

Anyway, I think I can also see Orion but then I'm not sure if it's really Orion or some other group of stars. Perhaps I might go & acquire a star chart/map one of these days.

 

Nung bata ako at nasa probinsya ako (somewhere in northern luzon) talagang mahilig akong mag star gazing, at pag super down ako, lagi kong hinahanap yung constelation na Crux, pero hirap kasing mag stargazing dito sa manila, kelangan talaga yung open space at madilim (walang skyscraper na nagpapaliwanag ng paligid at usok na galing sa pabrika)

Namiss ko stargazing..sa province kasi namin mula nung bata pa ko walang kuryente, tatambay kami sa tabing dagat nakahiga sa buhangin and you can see the stars end to end dahil nga madilim, but mas magnda tingnan kung nasa laot habang nakahiga sa bangka..lots of shooting stars,bright stars...parang connect the dots para makabuo ng figures, constellations.

celestia and/or stellarium are your best sources kapag sa desktop or for doing demos for kids (which i do)

 

google skymap is another nice app. sayang nag-u-u-ulan these past few days. and the light pollution in the metro is just so bad.

 

anyone been to that hotel in antipolo that's meant for star gazers?

I miss stargazing at my alma mater. blanket, friends, imagination, and no university police roaming around to shoo away students lying on the field.
