Star Gazing

[|2 /-\ | /|/]

First off what a nice night. Probably the first one since the winter where I can comfortably sit on my deck in my hoodie and enjoy a nice book and the night sky.

I wanted to know if you guys have any good apps to recommend for star gazing or tips and useful resources. I use android.

There is something calming about the starts and night....so many nights and we barely notice them. Its feels kinda liberating to take some time and gaze at the starts, first understand how and where they are situated in our galaxy in relation to us and maybe learn something interesting about them, and then allow your imagination to fill in the rest.

You people in the city are so deprived. I can just pull out my lawn chair and gaze into the night sky for hours and marvel at its beauty and serenity.

Living up in cottage country has its benefits, especially on nights like last night.

I have experienced sex north of 60 with the Aurora Borealis also. It could get tainted by cabin fever though. A poor substitute would be sex outside the tent at Algonquin Park but the far north is sweeter and more therapeutic hosted by the night sky. Unfortunately in the arctic, the sky is dark when it is frigid.
