Default Re: The Astronomy Thread

Went camping in the outback while I was at Uni. My goodness, more stars than black.

You could sit back and watch the satellites crossing over - those with binoculars could even make out their shape and see amazing detail.

I can't wait to go back one day and do it with my kids - they would hopefully find it as amazing as I did.

I have also seen 2 meteors up close - and roughly in the same locations.

The one I saw several years ago was referenced on some sort of online register - I looked it up a few days later and read several accounts of the same thing that I saw.

A month ago I was driving towards Sydney on the M5 and to my right and shooting off into the distance Sydney bound was another meteor bright blue / green in colour with a long trail behind it.
