Stars are cold, very cold. Or rather, stargazing at the top of a mountain without jackets is cold. However there is a warmer side to stargazing- looking at stars (and planets and galaxies and nebulas).
Some things we saw:
- A fuzzy red dot = Mars
- A Saturn that looks like Saturn – complete with coloured rings, and shadows, and perfection!
- Two fuzzy stars together = binary star (or bad eyesight and bad focus)
- Alpha Centauri
- The Milky Way
- Another galaxy
- A triangle star constellation
- A dog star constellation (I still argue it’s three lines)
- Free tea
- Airplane star (moving quickly and blinking)
- Shooting star x 2
- Single star constellation
- Dot shaped constellation
- Single point shaped constellation
- The lone star
All in all, it was a fun night out. Yay!!
(I promise the next entry will not have dot points. We are just so unimaginative, us science people)
