The ultimate trip in America isn't a city, nor a beach, nor even a mountain; no, it's the clear shimmering window into eternity that is Badwater Basin at night, set in the sublime landscape of Death Valley, the "True Sky".

Congrats to Rum’s 40 inhabitants on this new status!' Have you experienced a Dark Sky Reserve? #StarGazing #NatureLovers
Wow, what a beautiful big moon. And stars so clearly visible l. I think I got Orion's belt
I am really, really curious if the Seestar S50 holds true to its promises.

M31 (Messier 31 and NGC 224) also commonly known as the Andromeda Galaxy, the nearest major galaxy to our Milky Way. Two satellite galaxies are also in the frame, M32 (Messier 32 and NGC 221) is on the left and M110 (Messier 110 and NGC 205) is on the right.

It was a bit cloudy earlier, but just stepped outside and seen Jupiter and Mars, bright as buttons. Orion and the Southern Cross are clearly visible and the Milky Way is sitting above our house .
Close to Orion was Sirius, which was brighter than Jupiter tonight, and I learned that a bright, blue coloured star near Sirius is called Mirzam.

#Stargazing fans, now is the time to go out and look for planets - Saturn will be lost in the glare of the Sun soon. I was out with Frankie the other night and conditions were very clear (for city skies, anyway). Venus is incredibly bright - probably responsible for some UFO reports these days - as is Jupiter. Mars is easy, too. Uranus should be visible in binoculars, just down to the right from the Pleiades.
Teachers, don't wait until spring, they'll all be on the wrong side of the Sun to show your students!
