Any one else fascinated with astronomy?

I took lots of astronomy classes when I was younger and went to a few telescope meetings, Lots of people gather and all bring their telescopes.

Some of this stuff just blows my mind!

I cant even grasp that concept! But then if you think about it, those stars and galaxies might not even be there anymore since we are seeing what was there millions/billions of years ago.

And to think that all these "celebrities" and "stars" think they are as important as they are. When in reality their life is less than a spec in the existance of space/time.

I like it but have not put a lot of time into it. Just like to sit out on the back deck at night with a beer.

 

lol. did it feel like you were crashing a speeder bike when you wrecked your truck?

I love sitting out at night at the lake and watching the sky. Sometimes you can see satellites crossing the sky
