the night sky is beautiful

3/52 WEEK PROJECT - OUT LATE IN THE PARK
 

It seems like a non-unusual place to be. My friends had a spontaneous get-together at my place, and we decided to go for a late-night visit of the park that's behind my house. I know this isn't really a new place, but I've never been out there that late to just chat and watch the stars. It was a good night so we had some funsies and chatz.

I know this is a bit nerdy but I've always wanted to be able to name the stars and see the ones that correspond to the planets. There's an app for that on iPhone called Night Sky; it's really cool but I don't know if I'll want to use it over and over again. (sidenote: recent restore of my iPhone has caused me to rethink all the apps I download. Having too many makes the iPhone go slow :( ). I admire people who can look up at the stars and know the constellations...the only one I know is the Southern Cross. Also, the planets have their corresponding shine as well, and they appear on certain days in certain parts of the sky...but I never remember when or where =P I tried to look at Mars through one of those telescopes a while ago, but my eyelashes got in the way =="
