    Do you ever look up and just think Wow!!?

    There is nothing so amazing and perspectivising as a night sky, and it is an especially beautiful one tonight(Inishowen area).

    I'm speechless at the minute.

    Introspection (or internal perception) is the self-examination of one's conscious thoughts and feelings.

    I was looking at the same sky earlier on my way home from the pub. But everytime I leaned back to look at the sky I fell over. Either very windy or too many people looking up at the same time. Damn you boards!!!

    Yeah, but Anytime has a fairly big selection nowadays. So it's not too bad

    I was thinking it wasn't a word but no words could describe that sky.

    Cheers.

    It is great but I hate seeing Hubble images of galaxies and pulsars and stuff, and then feeling disappointed when I do look at the night sky ( damn eyes with their 1.0 zoom and lack of imaging filters for enhanced clarity and scope). Still pretty cool though!

    I'd say you're the type of person that if you won the Lotto you'd probably go and build yourself a windmill......

    It's a shame we can't see the milky way on this side of the world. It looks spectacular on a clear night.

    Looking up at the Sky at 10 to 3 in the morning. There's a person who is outstanding in their field.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Jester252


    I love looking up at the sky but when the moon is bright I can't sleep as it is shining in my eyes

    No you're not. You're typing on boards....with words....

    Did you ever notice that the moon is the same size in the sky as the sun?

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

    I'm seeing a trend here. First it was a 3am thread on talking animals, then a 3am thread on the wonderment of the sky.

    I love the night's sky so much, especially in the country. Sometimes it's nothing but stars and you get so lost staring up at them.

    Space is beautiful alright. I love the night sky. Nothing beats a midnight stroll just to be under the stars

    You're lucky to have 1.0 zoom :(

    I adore a clear night sky. Lovely. Remember a few weeks back you could see the gallelian moons around Jupiter with just a normal pair of binoculars.

    What amazes me more than the billons of stars, the unfathomable expanse of the universe, the sheer scale of sizes and distances involved (our closest galaxy is several trillion miles away),...... the potential for extra terrestrial life.....what amazes me more than all of this is that some people don't give a fk about it and are far more concerned about what Paris Hlton said on her twitter.

    All i see is nullity; a void of faraway ciphers I will never be able to travel to.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,391 ✭✭✭✭mikom


    Looking up at the night sky I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
    I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
    All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain........... Time to die.

    So OP, did you dream of Electric Sheep?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,099 ✭✭✭Johnny Bitte


    My phone is filled with pictures of the sky at dawn dusk etc.

    Its great to just stop for a second and just take it in.

    My French house mate was just commenting last night that the colours seen in the Irish sky are remarkable.

    If I look up at a clear night sky in Ireland, I won't look down until I find the Big Dipper.
