One of my favorite parts about winter is seeing the constellation Orion, and in particular Orion's belt. Oddly enough, it's only visible in the winter, and there's something cool about walking in the dark, seeing your breath, then looking up and seeing a warrior in the sky. To be perfectly honest, I don't really know anything about the stars other than that constellation (I can barely find the dippers..) but it is cool to think about astrology and that the stars happened to arrange themselves in a way that was conducive to some sort of drawing in the sky. Shall we call it... sky art? Cool stuff.
What are your thoughts on constellations and the stars?
I love looking at the Big Dipper, but unfortunately that's the only one I can identify. One of my coworkers was telling me about this iPad app that points out constellations as you hold it towards the sky.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of the app, but alas, no iPad!
