Stars and Constellations :3


Before I left Las Vegas, Mart gave me a pocket guide of constellations. :] I've been reading it diligently. Everynight, I go out with my telescope [that I made my mom buy for me to make up for the past 3 birthdays of mine she forgot ] and I try to find certain constellations. In June there are about five that are visable. The only onces I've been able to find though has been: Ursa Minor and Lupus. I am still looking for: Libra, Circinus, and Bootes. No luck so far. D:
No matter if I don't find them theres always next June and I have all of July to find thos constellations. Theres a total of ten constellations that are visable in July. I will try my best to find them but no garuntees since a lot of the stars look the same. XD Theres my terrible sense of humor shining its way through my thoughts. Anyways in July I plan on going to the Pocono Moutains in hopes that the altitude will make the stars more visable. The main one I would like to find in July is Draco,its made up of thirteen stars. I am looking forward to it. As well as my camping trip with my brother [the camping part not the brother part. ahaha] But who knows it may be fun. I am a bit dissapointed though because I will never be able to see the other month's constellations because of all the smog in Las Vegas and the lights...its impossible to see any stars. D: I am so sad for that. Its very rare to see stars in Las Vegas...now that I think about it I don't recall seeing many stars at all within the 8 years I've lived in Las Vegas. :/ Oh well thats fine when I get out of high school I'll just move to a place where I can see the stars at night...maybe England where I've always want to live. Planty of country sides there to admire. :']yes a happy tear.
