The moon is about 3/4ths full, and its gorgeous, especially when the sky is cloudless, as it's been here and there, and fairly little clouds right now.
I spent A LOT of my childhood, teens, and early to mid 20's lookimg up at the night sky with my dad. We spent hours and hours gazing at the stars, telling stories, discussing astronomy and science, off the wall possibilities, religion, politics... Everything. Very often we'd be under a sky like tonight from sundown to sun up.
I consider looking at the sky and the stars magical. As my dad often would say "baby, you're looking back in time." And he was right. Where else can you gaze and see something that at this very moment may be dead and gone by now? And we won't know until the light reaches us, or lack thereof for many stars that'll just blip out of existence one day.
I'll always think of my dad everytime I look at the night sky. I'm really lucky I have those memories and got to spend the time I did with him enjoying something so amazing and awe inspiring.
How often do you look at the stars, moon and other heavenly bodies? Is there a star out there that you consider "yours"? What's the coolest thing about astronomy/in the night sky to you?

I always feel like a total astronomy n00b because, when it comes to constellations, I can only identify Orion's belt if I even bother looking up.
The implications of the tremendous physical distance of each and every visible star in the night sky is actually incredibly humbling.
Sadly, I spend nowhere near enough time looking up at night.

I respect that. The DAD. I like looking at the sky myself but not usually in a formal let's sit down and look at the sky all night way.
The night time is the eight time. I like black skies. I like night. I like storms. I like rain. I like bad weather. I think I always will. It's just somehow more REAL. even though sunny skies and fluffy clouds are real too, so i dont mean to be mean to them. Sorry fluffy clouds.

I'm a moon child as I'm a cancerian.i always notice when the moon is full. A few weeks ago it was pinkish.
But yeah a few months ago my buddy Hector and I bought some weed and ketamine and brews and laid out in his backyard counting stars and trains going to Mars. It's was pretty rad.
I'd like to go to an area near by where theres not so many street lights though. Like in the country

The sun, the moon, the stars
Is that what you're thinking that you are

Ireland is a cloudy country. The Sahara desert is supposed to have amazing views of the sky, I'm planning on making my next holiday to some Arab country country there, maybe Mauritania, wherever is doing cheap flights.

I love the star gazing when I’m in the country and away from the city lights. The difference is amazing. So many stars to see🤩

half of the stars you saw last night are already dead by the time their lights reach earth.
do you enjoy looking at deaths ?

Oh, and mq, we didnt always "formally" star gaze. Honestly, most the time it was because my father was a smoker and up all night, so being my grandma was allergic to smoke, we would go sit outside to smoke. So it cpuld be hours that we'd be out there or sometimes just for a cigarette. Also depended on how the sky was. If it was cloudy, we weren't out so much, but if it was clear, we could be out there all night, coming in only for drinks, snacks, and cigarettes, and also for me to piss... He'd just piss off the portch of course- he was a real man... A Manly-man.

The sky looks cool sometimes with when there are really large intricate cloud formations, like the sky is a big painting. Usually I just think "that would look so cool on acid...but I'm not...*sigh*
This one time a couple years ago, there was this big pink cloud cluster that had a lighting storm going on inside for like well over an hour.

Imagine how different the world would be if it had two moons.
