I love stargazing. Not for what it is, per se. It is, after all, just a bunch of stars and a moon. But for what I know is out there beyond what I can see. It has become for me a religious experience.
Good article. And this is why I don't own a telescope. It all just looks the same, if we're honest.
In 2002 or so when Mars was at its closest point to Earth, I got to go to the Lick Observatory in San Jose and look through the big refracting telescope. Again if we're honest, it was like looking at a flashlight. You could BARELY make out the polar ice caps. Nothing at all like the great Mars photos we've gotten lately.
This story is going make me go outside and stare at the beautiful night sky.
Yeah baby.

Yup, yup, yup. Awesome but lots of the same. Thanks.
