To look at the stars is to be amazed. In this day and age we know the science of astronomy. We know distances and the difference between planets and stars. You can steer a ship, plant a garden and set our calendar by them. If we have something in common with every generation going back to the beginning of man it is the stars. To look at the stars among the trees and mountains on a dark night, to feel those pin pricks of light flow through, as they have done and will continue, is to feel lucky.

So many stars makes it hard to pick out the constellations. Very nice photo.

Constellations are always hard to pick out in clear dark skies. The camera always makes it harder.

This evening I went out at 7:44 to watch the ISS pass overhead. It started in the NW and went directly over at 90˚ altitude. While I watched, two brief meteors zipped by. As it faded into the Earth’s shadow between Jupiter and Saturn, another longer meteor passed to the right. Probably part of the Orionids.

ONe thing I love about Pleiades – it’s a constellation you can see no matter how bad your eyesight gets! 😉

Yes I agree. A small beacon to show the way.
