Thanks for the link!!!! This will come in very handy very soon. It is our intention to place "self-adhesive glow in the dark stars" on the ceiling in little Cassie's room. We will use the night sky as it appears on the morning of her birth as a template.
Thanks for the link! I had a great time recapturing my star gazing skills. I remember so many nights as a child in the Girl Scouts gazing at the stars - from the river levee, a campside in the woods, a jetty near the lake, and my backyard on a clear night. I'm anxious to head outside again to practice in the real sky - it just has to stop raining! I want you to know that I got everything right, too. Love ya! My best to Wai Kit!
Pretty decent for a simple lesson. One more snippet of info for those interest in learning how to navigate by stars; you can also find north just by looking at Orion. If you look at Orion closely, there is another row of stars hanging below Orion's belt. That's Orion's sword. It points north. Incidentally, Orion's sword is also where Orion Nebula is located. Very nice looking nebula through a telescope.
Yes of course they are real. Usually you can only see the occasional meteor shooting across the sky. They are so quick that it's just a sudden flash of light that crosses the sky and leaves you unsure if you've actually seen a meteor, but during a meteor shower, you see practically the whole sky filled with these flashes of light shooting all in the same direction and it's simply.... simply.... simply....
Cool ... thanks.

ReplyDelete:D *thumbs up*
ReplyDeleteI had a chance to try the link and thought it is rather nifty to be able to identify some of the stars... wow, I must spend some time on it.

ReplyDeleteJust one question on 流星雨... is this real because I have never seen one.... and do you know the English words for this? ;-)
ReplyDeleteMeteor shower?

ReplyDelete......so beautiful (and romantic if you are with your Babe) that you're simply at a loss of words... XD!
ReplyDeleteunderstand, understand..
aiyah, two romantic souls hidden in the Meteor showers?
ReplyDeletemaybe more.... ;-)
ReplyDeleteOk, let me find a partner and push him under the shower! ;-)
ReplyDeletehaha! This is quite fun. Orion's belt was quite easy. I thought the Big Dipper and Cassopeia was challenging :)
