Nah, stop giggling you lot at the back I'm serious ;) Whatever you have planned may I suggest you also make time to watch what could be a great display of "shooting stars". This is of course dependent on the weather but at least the moon will on the way to a new moon so the sky should be fairly dark. They say the best day is the 13th, but I plan to be out hopefully a few days either side each evening. I often caught my best viewing a day or two before or after the optimum day. This year I may try to get some photographs too.

Poor old Patrick is getting on a bit now (aren't we all) but his enthusiasm is still there to inspire. While I was watching this months programme I was introduced to [url=http://galaxyzoo.org/] The Galaxy Zoo[/url] Apparently there have been so many observations and astro-photographs of Galaxies that help is now needed to classify them! How awesomely cool is that? SO many galaxies. I of course signed up straight away and have classified over 40 galaxies so far. Pity I can't name any ;) All you have to do is register pass a little test and your on-board. It's totally addictive and there are beautiful galaxies to look at too. [quote] I wish I was a spaceman, the fastest guy alive I'd fly you ?round the universe. In fireball xl5. Way out in space together. Conquerors of the sky. My heart would be a fireball. A fireball. Every time I gaze into your starry eyes. We?d take a path to Jupiter and maybe very soon. We?d cruise along the Milky Way and land upon the Moon. To a wonderland of stardust. We?ll zoom our way to mars. My heart would be a fireball. A fireball. And you would be my Venus of the stars.?
