When you get the chance to look at the night sky, free from light pollution and clouds, and look at them. Do you realise your place in this cosmic travelogue.
The sheer impossibility of of our brains, certainly mine and possibly Einstein’s, to take on all the possibilities and inevitabilities of our existence come into focus. What you are looking at is a lost photo of the past and it will outlive you and all your anxieties.
The stars light our way and also shadow our past, the questions of meaningful life or non meaningful life are up there. To be discerned and dissected in our individual ways. Meaningless while trying to me look for answers that we will never find.
If we beat Bristol Rovers none of it will matter and Bill Gates can control all my synapses. Just give me a turquoise shell suit from a Coventry City reserve goalkeeper.
The Thais are so genuinely petrified of ghosts, they're all scared of the dark. Everywhere is always lit up like Blackpool illuminations over here. Haven't seen a star since Adel left.
It's useful to know about the stars, or heavenly bodies as we called them at school. I can tell you it's a great seduction tactic to know the stars and talk about the wonders of the universe and the significance of our lives in the wider firmament on a clear night, on the beach or once even on a long haul flight, it's like talking dirty.
Oh btw, we're playing Bristol City this week anyway. That'll bring us back to earth.
I got the observer book of astronomy for a leaving present from primary school in 1971,and it mentioned the solar eclipse in August 1999.That seemed like a lifetime away in 1971. And now it seems like another lifetime since it happened.
I am lucky up here that our village doesn’t have any street lights,so I can see millions of stars on most nights when I get home from work.

Absolutely - I've no doubt a wondrous cosmological void will be created by ourselves from the first Brizzle corner on 3mins...
My most recent holiday was in Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland and for part of it, we were in New Galloway, right next to a dark sky park. The weather was not great but on the last night, we thought to hell with it, let's try it anyway. We parked up and gazed into the heavens. Man alive, that night sky was out of this world!
I am sure we could see the Milky Way but we had trouble seeing Orion, although we can normally see that pretty clearly at home in Berkshire. The reason for that is that there were just so many other stars. It was incredible, there were so many, almost down to the horizon. That was all with the naked eye.
If you are ever near a dark sky park, give it a go.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Been lucky enough to have been to the Maldives a few times , amazing site no matter how many times you look up it blows you away , was lucky enough on my last visit to see Kerry Dixon’s penalty fly over the room one night as well

The bottom of the Grand Canyon is very similar in that there is no light pollution,but you can only see what’s directly above and not to the horizon. What’s the best time of year to go to the Maldives?And any recommendations on where to stay?
It's on my bucket list to either go to the Atacama deseret in Chile or to La Palma in the Canary Islands as they are, allegedly, two of the best places in the world to view the night sky, and all it has to offer, from.

The things you can see in an American Sky at Night!
