Does Orion wear the same belt every single night? I definitely need to take him accessory shopping.
~Stephen Moore
My friends and I were walking along one night on our way to the Rec Room when I looked up and saw the constellation Orion. When I pointed him out, my friend Stephen immediately responded with the above quote. I have not laughed so hard in my entire life.
The skies are clear here. Clearer than I have ever seen before. And though we are by downtown Perth, there is not much light coming from the city at night because everything shuts down after five, with the exception of a few clubs.
The result is more stars than I have ever seen before in my entire life.
I have a cottage up north away from big cities, but even that does not compare to the wonders I have seen in the night sky since I came here. Every single night, the sky is completely full. Orion is always prominent, as is the Southern Cross.
I like to just sit outside and look at them. It is something I am not sure I will ever experience again.
I wish I were there! I can't remember the last time I really saw the stars.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that's so funny that you posted that. Right before reading this I was going to post something about asking about the stars there. Just because I know that you see completely different constellations and I wanted to know if they are awesome!! That's so amazing! I want to go to the southern hemisphere just to see their night sky and observe all the different and "background" astronomy they have... yes, I am a science nerd. Thank you!
