Just some boring stuff to look out for this month...

In the early morning,look East and the Brightest 'object' in the sky is Venus.

You won't miss it as it is VERY Bright.

Above it (a reddish object) is Saturn.

Look to South and another reddish object is Mars.

In the early evening Looking South you will see Jupiter which will be a bright star-like object!

Hope atleast One person finds this a little interesting!!!! :unsure:

Not a bad site that one, I passed my open uni course this week in Planetary Science, and I've used that site before.

Did you know that you can see the space station pass over? Pretty cool you know.

I saw it in September/ October. Looked rather snazzy.

I used to love space when i was a young 'un, got the telescope in the attic i think. Used to scare myself looking through it on my own, didn't know what i'd see :mellow:

Ive saw the tiny tiny ring round Saturn through it, loads of planets round Jupiter... and looking at the moon was amazing, you could actually see the craters and loads of detail :thumbup:

Yeah i got a Celstron.

Its pretty basic...my Mrs got me it for me Bday last year.

Got a decent pair of Bioculars too.

You cant beat it mate.

Get out and have a look in the dark and you'll be amazed at what you can see.

Also gives you a sense of realism and how MASSIVE the Universe is......i'll stop now before i really get boring!!! :whistle:

amazing photos, thanks for the link raj

why do you keep saying you are boring? I find space/astromony infintely more interesting that the whole "lets go out and get drunk for no reason every weekend" mentally of most 'normal, non-boring' people...

Like I said, I used to have one meself. Cost a bit too, albeit from Argos :thumbup:

I remember being about 7? Coming out of my grans on a Sunday night and looking up to see a comet. I remembered my dad saying we'd be able to see one soon... I ran back round and on to the park, with my telescope. It actually was amazing and like you say, puts things into perspective - and sometimes scared me! :thumbup:

Tis amazing when you show someone something for the first time.

showed my Mrs Saturn earlier this year and she was gobsmacked(even though i dragged her out of bed at 11pm!!!)

Even my niece,who hates me,actually said thanks when i showed her a close up of the moon and its craters!

Everyone should have the opportunity to see these objects within our own Universe.....boring again...sorry!!! :rolleyes:
