Anyone here does stargazing?

[TsarTsar444]

I remember when i went to the countrysides where my grandparents live in the summer during the night time all of the houses and streets have no lights and the sky looked insane, stars everywhere and the milky way being very visible, would lay down on the grass for hours just looking into the void like that it was a good cope.

Does anyone here know how to see planets like venus, mars, jupiter with a naked eye in the night? And when are they visible to see at all? Are cheap telescopes worth it to look into the sky tbh?

Nah sungazing mogs why would you stargaze

 

[Vermilioncore]

I do it sometimes. Thinking about space really calms me down and brings a soothing mood over me. I love outer space, stars, and planets.

I do that at mornings as well, when the sun is low, its very good for eyesight

 

[Deleted member 22918]

I wanna do it one day

Yeah the universe looks beautiful, it was my obsession since childhood ngl

How come you didn't see it by default by now? You never gone out from the city in some place with very little light pollution?

Same. There’s these Milky Way solar system chocolate box of every planet and also the sun and moon. I’m gonna buy it and listen to some good space music and watch space videos and eat those chocolates

Only as a child

I drove outside of the city at night before but never paid attention to the stars

 

[Deleted member 26448]

i do it when i'm coming back from work (only time i get out at night), it's pretty awesome

Yeah you need to kinda pay attention, even if they are super visible everywhere if you aren't laying down and looking straight up you won't notice them to the fullest extent, it looks very trippy especially when there is no moon and the milky way is visible, you get this trippy sensation after some time like you aren't looking up anymore but looking down instead, like glued to the planet with only gravity holding you to not fall into the eternal star abyss

I miss being able to stargaze, I hate how soulless and empty the city skies are

 

[SubSigma]

I like space n psychedelics so I want to stargaze someday but there is too much light pollution where I’m at

Yes, since I was a child I spent summer vacations at grandma's countryside home with my cousin and we'd walk around at nights and stargaze, counting the shooting stars and satellites flying by we'd see. It's something unreal to see a rare shooting star that flies through entire sky, lighting it up and fragmenting thorough the flight, and it leaves a trail that lasts few seconds that looks like nothing else in this world.
It's like there's some ancient part in your brain that makes you really relaxed and happy just looking at beautiful night sky and giving you a natural dopamine shot every time you see something unique like these shooting stars.

I'm not into that enough to know shit about astronomy or instantly know what planet is what, but it's a nice way to just spend a night outside and chill. Plus, bitches love that shit, if you take her stargazing and are able to explain some of that stuff to them they're always fawning.


To check what you see on night sky just use the sites that have interactive night sky map, you can insert your actual position and check what is visible, works on phone too. Just google "night sky map" and choose which app works for you, for example:

Stellarium Web Online Star Map

Stellarium Web is a planetarium running in your web browser. It shows a realistic star map, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope.

Thats sad

 

[ihatereddit]

yes I even have a telescope but its cope because I live in a lightpollutionmaxxed area brutal

Have you seen venus during the night?

You should visit an observatory, many of them are open to the public for a fee and you can gaze on the stars with telescopes there

I remember when i was in Monaco few years ago and corsica was very visible looking out the shore. It was quite wierd to see it because the earths curvature would ensure it would be bellow the horizon from my eye view. There must be some explanation for this, but it made me interested in flat earth schizo ramblings. Isn't it easy to prove once and for all the earth shape with a very powerful telescope observing from lets say south france to the way of north africa, if north africa can be seen then earth is flat, if it can't its round. Wierd flat earthers haven't invested in such a telescope

You have likely experienced athmospheric refraction, the Achilles’ heel of flat Earth schizos

“
Generally atmospheric density and hence refractive index decreases with altitude in the troposphere. Therefore, light rays at a small angle above the horizontal will be bent towards the horizontal. This enables observation of objects physically located below the horizon, which would not be possible without refraction.
“

I too have experienced it a few times, it’s an interesting phenomenon, makes you see things that are behind the horizon

The gods at one time. But I know what they are ... alive! We're neither at the top of the food chain nor ever the smartest entities in this solar system. The planets and suns mog us into oblivion. But woe to the wise of galactic perspiration, planets, and suns project themselves into the wombs of Earth's avatars. Ö¥Ö

Always do it at my cabin

Yeah but Corsica is too far away, i know about this phenomenon but i did a calculation based on a formula of horizon observation and Corsica should have been significantly below the horizon. Also the reflection index wouldn't be nearly as great as the sun to cause such an effect. Idk i believe the earth is round and my biggest proof for it is simply the Antarctica Cup race tournament where hundreds of people participate going around the whole thing. Idk how would flat earthers cope with that, by their logic antartica would be insanely long cause it would enclose the whole earth.

It's quite interesting for me that lots of clearly above average people with no schizophrenia diagnosis are zealous about flat earth yet somehow haven't thought about simply circling antartica and measuring the distance they passed which would settle their truth seeking
