An amazing week for stargazing...

[lspencer534]

Oct. 16 onward: Mercury will be visible in the early morning.

Oct. 20-22: The Orionids Meteor Showers peaks, with up to 20 showers per hour.

Oct. 22-29: Venus, Mars, and Jupiter will draw the closest together that they'll be until 2021.

The problem with stars is that they aren't labeled.

The problem with stars is that they aren't labeled.

That's because you live in New Mexico...or some other Foreign Country. Here in the States, all stars and planets are clearly labeled with their name and pronunciation. It's all a part of the current Administration's policy to dumb down America so as to set it apart from other countries. Occasionally there are mistakes...such as calling Pluto "that ball-licking mutt". And because of recent colonization of other planets, certain sayings have been give entirely new meanings, such as, "He's so down to Uranus" and, "What on Uranus is he up to?".

Astronomy for me as a hobby is hindered greatly by my other hobby, drinking. It makes everything blurry.:shots:

I have the same problem...but on the broader scope of life. Although I go to bed every night at 9:00, I don't get home until 2:00. I tell you...it's tough finding your way home a different route every night.

Thanks Spence, great title. Now we get to look forward to parody meatgazing threads.
