The Full Moon

I love to look at the night sky, especially when its a full moon and I can see many stars. In fact, when I was at my undergraduate school in Philly I had to take a science class and I chose astronomy... unfortunately, I was in engineering school so I ended up doing more calculations that anything else, BUT we did get one session on the telescope and that was unforgettable. I saw the rings of Saturn in fine detail! I eventually bought my own telescope but I think I paid US$29.99 for it so you know how much purpose it served!

I still enjoy looking at the sky without the periscope but its also kinda fun to know what you looking at... for those who can see the night sky clearly tonight, you'll see Mars getting a little cosy with the moon! Fascinating stuff, I like to follow it using this programme... And by the way, the nightsky in Negril is always sparkling, another reason for me to head west!

Almost every single night my mother sits in the verandah, watching the night sky.

She's seen some pretty straaange things, amazing stuff, just sitting, watching, waiting.
