Ascension Eve Stargazing
Last night, Saturday (eve of Ascension as we celebrated this on Sunday), I had the opportunity to open the scope again for a night-out of star gazing fun.
A frien
d from the English College, Fr Chris, came by for dinner (which we cooked in our kitchen at the basement) and later stayed on for about an hour and a half to catch a look at some stars, constellations and the planet Saturn. The more prominent constellations that were around that night were the Big Dipper (Chris who is from Britain calls it the 'Plough'), Leo and Lyra. But it was Saturn that captured our attention with her edged-on rings.
