Observation

10/16/10

Last Saturday, some friends and I decided to take advantage of our newfound constellation knowledge and go outside and look up at the sky. Although it wasn't as dark as we needed it to be on Stickney Point, we made do and were actually able to spot some stellar objects!
We saw the brightest star Venus, which we have been able to see for the past couple of months now.
We also saw Sagittarius and what we thought was Cassiopea.
In addition I managed to spot the keystone within hercules. If you titled your head all the way back you could see the summer triangle!

All in all, considering the light pollution and the conditions we were in, it was a pretty successful night!
