all IGT dudes seem 2 b dead so i've decided 2 start a random conversation on astronomy... seriously dedicated 2 all those who in ne way like 2 sometimes star-gaze or follow sky events like eclipses etc..... share dem here... doesnt matter if u know nothing 'bout astronomy...u might evn ask questions....i'll try 2 answer dem all..
for starters.... everybody knows we had a solar eclipse on th' 26th of JAN 2009 annual type .....in indonesia.....seen li'l bit from south india as well
Hmmm... I looked out of the window and I could make out only one constellation clearly - Orion I think I can make out Saptarishi (Big dipper) too, but i'm not very sure. I guess I don't know much about astronomy.
@aniketdave yea orion....u can make it out due to its belt(cluster of 3 bright stars called orion's belt)... orion is supposed 2 be a hunter. with 2 pets 'canis major'(near its feet to left) n 'canis minor'(near head to left). It even has a prey...Lepus the hare (below its feet)!!! lol it also has a beautiful giant red nebula (ROSE nebula, since it has red rose like petals n green stem) also if u follow the line of the 3 stars of the orion's belt, to the left is the brightest star in the sky.......SIRIUS... hope tht was helpful..... \m/
NEWS if u see to the north sky....between 7.30 n 9.40 pm u see a very bright object thats VENUS....the brightest thing in the sky.... its brightest at 9pm n disappears after 10 pm cuz it falls below horizon
aries doesnt luk like a ram exactly....its more like a bent line i'll upload a pic of orion, canis minor, canis major n aries
^whats in it?? neways a new comet is gonna b seen in th' sky COMET LULIN interested ppl can see it using standard binoculars or telescopes https://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap090202.html for some information, u'll get tremendous info if u just google by that name!
