When I was younger, I would gaze up at the sky with my wide-little-girl eyes and stare.
I would stare for hours, gaping at the way the clouds moved in such quick, careless way, the sun extending its soft rays to my awed face, and the sparrows, spreading their beautiful, fragile wings to soar across the hauntingly blue sky.
But most of all, I would look at the stars.
At night, I would gather my telescope and my constellations map and my lovely star-dotted sleeping bag and just watch.
I would gasp at the incredible sight of the Big and Little Dipper paired together, like two peas in a pod. I would trace my small, stubby fingers over Orion’s Belt. I would lose my breath at the vivid galaxies that spread as far as the eye could see.

My efforts to find, view, and mentally catalogue everything the heavenly bodies have to offer has led me to employ some over-the-top measures, but the most extreme of them all might be the night I stayed awake through the wee hours of the morning to catch a glimpse of a meteor shower. Over the course of an entire year, the memory of this stupefying event is still as lucent and vivid as it was that very night so long ago.

Finally, let’s mention Meissa that according to the old mythological drawings is the head of the giant Orion. This is a double star with one component being a rare O-class star with the extreme temperature of about 35 000 Kelvin while its companion is a little cooler 27 000 Kelvin. (The Kelvin temperature scale used by astronomers is the same as the ordinary Celsius scale, but with 273 added so that the freezing point of water is at 273 K.) So on these dark autumn evenings once you had your fill of the bright planets and satellites, have a look at the giant Orion and then maybe report what you see to Globe at

As I lay on the minute golden grains of sand, I looked up at the brilliant sky, adorned with flashes of pink and orange and purple, mirroring the colours of a flawless seasoned apricot. The goddess-like sun’s face is being embraced by the demure navy fingertips of the skyline.

Along with professional astronomers are amateur astronomers who only observe the heavens for personal satisfaction and enjoyment. I myself am an amateur astronomer and enjoy observing everything in the night sky with a 5-inch Newtonian reflector.... ... middle of paper ... ...
