You called?

About stargazing... hehe, I used to do it when I was in primary school as my dad bought a book about stars. One of the easiest constellations to view in our night sky would be Orion. The shape of Orion is so prominent that you probably won't miss it as it's just a square with 3 dots in between. The big dipper is not that hard to find too, while Sirius is pretty easy as it's so damn bright.

If you look carefully at the celestial bodies in the sky, you'll notice that stars are the ones that flicker. There are other stuff which don't, which could be planets, especially those which are not that "hot" hence a darker orangy/milky/whitish colour. Most stars are bluish-white. I could be wrong though as I can't remember much from the book.

Speaking of the book, it's an American published version so it's orientation is based on American skies in the Northern hemisphere whereas we're situated closer to the equator.

Anyway, just try to get Orion. You won't miss it if you look.

Too bad our night skies are not polluted by light as they have a bright orange tinge now... You'd be lucky to even see ONE star.
