Do you connect more to certain stars?

[LovingJo]

When looking up into the nights sky, do you feel yourself drawn to certain stars, more than others? If so, why?

[dustybiker]

Venus next to the moon in summer brings memories.

I used to look after a little girl. I had told her this info one morning. She had remembered and the next I saw her parents they told me their three year old knew what Venus was, where it was next to the moon at the time… how? I just smiled and said that was their genetics. Smart kid.

[dustybiker]

Thank you for the mho.

[NathanDavis]

yes, I certainly do...

the belt has always been my reference on the night's skies

3, 6, 9...

[LovingJo]

Yes, I am drawn to that, as well.. But mine, from what I can gather, is Sirius. But maybe it's the North star? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I like two that are not far from each other. (probably these two) 😍

[LovingJo]

It's almost at the south at the moment... And the other one at the east

[NathanDavis]

I just went out to the patio... but it's mid of the day, so it's just the moon at the moment, clearly visible

[LovingJo]

OK. It's 11pm here now. So if you remember, you'll know. And the one to the rest, is directly above the belt too 😊

[NathanDavis]

I'll check it out

[LovingJo]

How you catch it.. The moon looks awesome tonight, too!! Would love your thoughts!! ☺️

[NathanDavis]

I'll remind you later tonight... (=

[LovingJo]

Meant to say hope* you catch it. But it's already 23.30 here, it won't be night time for me 😂

[LovingJo]

The orionoid shower, is live, on YouTube right now ✨✨✨

[NathanDavis]

yes I know... but it will be there to read, lol (=

[LovingJo]

👍☺️

[NathanDavis]

and the moon is going fuller... so it will only get better looking through the incoming days

[LovingJo]

👍 But it's so cute tonight, for some reason 😂

[exitseven]

yes, mine too.

[NathanDavis]

I'll make sure not to miss it...

[LovingJo]

Did you catch YouTube?

[NathanDavis]

I have it playing right now...

[LovingJo]

Beautiful, isn't it?

[NathanDavis]

it is really nice, makes me want to get a telescope

[LovingJo]

It's a shame the camera lags in it, and it's only 720p 😂🤦🏻‍♀️
Love the music though, very relaxing!! 💯❤️

[LovingJo]

I'm waiting with breath that is baited 😂

[LovingJo]

This thread, Nathan lol 👆

If you’re considered a star then yes.

[abc3643]

Orion was always the most conspicuous constellation.

That said, I have a fetish for Delta Pavonis which I have never seen.

[LovingJo]

Hmm, I'm curious? 🤔

[abc3643]

Curious about... Delta Pavonis?

Delta Pavonis is a sun-like star between 19 and 20 light-years away. It is considered one of the major candidates for SETI observations.

There are so many interesting Southern Hemisphere stars I would love to see...
Alpha Centaurus
Delta Pavonis
Crux
Magellenic Clouds
Beta Hydri
Canopus (Alpha Carina)

👍❤️

Stars are so great because they were there before you and will be there after your passage on earth. They are this reminder of how small we are and, in that way, I can definitely say I connect with them

To say I connect to some in particular? I wouldn't know

[nolabels]

Good old sol does a pretty good job of keeping my world in a fairly normal routine, so I'll go with that choice.

[es20490446e]

To Mars, because it's the only one being red.

[LovingJo]

What do you mean?

[es20490446e]

Every star is white or yellowish, except Mars.

[es20490446e]

And my heart.

[LovingJo]

OK 😊

[es20490446e]

Ha! 🧑🏼‍🎤
