My backyard constellations

I’m so not feeling well for the past few days. Just having this feverish feeling. Well, I’m stuck at home now. I was supposed to go over to jimmy’s place today after dinner with my dad’s side. We wanted to watch some Russell Peter’s stand up comedies with chips and fuzzy juices. Darn fever, well at lease I enjoyed dinner.

Well, I’m so bored now. I was just looking up at the night sky. It’s so beautiful. I seriously want to get a proper telescope. But, it’s no use. What freaking constellations can you see in Singapore with all the light pollution? I tried going to Punggol end before, but the sky is still too bright.

So tonight I could see Venus and if I’m not wrong the other bright object was Sirius A. Well I tried using a telescope but sadly I couldn’t see the clouds of Venus. Another thing is, I’ve always wanted to see the rings of Saturn with my own eyes. It’s so freaking beautiful, Saturn is my favourite planet since young. But thanks to Singapore’s light pollution, this is not possible.

Well, I took this picture of the moon. I seriously think this it’s and awesome picture. I’m just waiting for this coming 12; it’ll be a full moon. So yea. We live in a universe of unimaginable scale and almost incomprehensible beauty. How is it that the light from distant galaxies takes so long to travel to our eyes and what beauty it has?
We’re not looking at the present, but what happened in the dinosaur era.
