I look at the night sky all the time! I live on the side of a hill with no other town for miles in the direction I see (west) so I get an amazing view of the western sky from N to S - but no eastern view (because of the hill). I love the movement through the seasons, and sometimes I try to picture the spinning and wobbling of the ball I'm stuck to the side of. But the scale is too vast .. and honestly, the whole idea of being inside a film of air around a rock that is essentially careering around a star again and again, wobbling away in the void is .. a bit scary if I look too close at it...
I have a simple telescope but i tend to prefer just looking with my eyes. Making a mental map of our immediate vicinity, you know .. for when I get kidnapped etc.
My favourite astronomy site is
In The Sky.org because you can set it to show your actual sky, then it's easy to learn about what's what.
I'm really into names of stars and other celestial bodies from languages other than English and cultures other than European. I like that stars and planets and the moon are features of every human experience ever, and in fact more so than now because of the amount of light pollution we live with. I suspect stars played a bigger role in everyone's life before the spread of science and technology that has explained so much of what all that stuff in the night sky actually is, and what it means. Or rather, what it means that
we mean.
Here's a picture of Saturn through my telescope a couple of years ago. Not exactly Hubble! But recognizable.
(the actual view was much clearer .. this was from a phone camera held against the eyepiece .. low tech DIY!)
