its going to take me about 2 minutes to type this sentence, about 3 more minutes to find a proper constellation map, maybe 1 minute to put on a sweatshirt and shoes, another minute to walk to my car, probably 10 minutes to go anywhere outside of the city where there isn't fucking light washing out all them stars and spacey shit, and then another 10 minutes to drive home, 5 minutes to shower and brush my teeth, and then i have to come in here and downvote you and tell you what a waste of time it was because I COULD HAVE BEEN SLEEPING

you forgot one crucial part that makes it worth it, smoking a joint before you look at the sky. Would make it worth it in a heart beat.

Love stuff like this. If you ever get a chance to use a high powered telescope, check out Jupiter's spot and Saturn's rings "up close." So cool to see, and you constantly have to adjust the telescope because of their orbits.

Probably less due to the orbit and more due to the spin of the earth

Yeah, that makes more sense. I was young when I got to see it. So cool though.

i recommend getting the starwalk app. you point your phone at the sky and it can show you the real time sky, when you move it moves. i use it all the time and am fortunate enough to be able to see the stars most nights, i love going out at night. i was just on my way out to watch the aurora. will find jupiter.
