What a beautiful clear starry night. Probably a cold one tho.
I've been trying to remember what I'm looking at a bit more. Eg. That star in Orion is Beetlejuice, that star that points to the Southern Cross is Alpha Centauri etc....
If I was back in school, I would totally focus my efforts on getting into some sort of astronomy career. It just blows my mind... everything.. everything about it all. Being mid 40s, best I'll be able to manage is being a super geeky annoying nerd about it with my partner and friends...
The Night Sky app is a good place to start. ๐

Yep. Or Skymap on Android...
