Jupiter to brighten the night sky
Posted on | August 19, 2007 | 13 Comments
But isn’t astronomy in Ireland essentially a redundant hobby due to the cloud cover? We might get two days a year without cloud, the rest of the time we’re covered in the stuff.
“Look there’s the Big Dipper. No, wait. That’s a cloud. There’s Orion’s Belt. Oh, sorry, cloud.”

Yes it is redundant, as is the expensive telescope sitting in my attic which a salesman convinced me that I’d see someone scratch their ass on the moon with. I couldn’t even see the moon.

It’s a risk-reward sort of thing. A single clear evening out in the country makes up for ten of the normal sort.

The other day I was gazing up at the night sky, a purple vault fretted with a myriad points of light twinkling in wondrous formation, while shooting stars streaked across the heavens, and I thought: I really must repair the roof on this toilet.

Yes and whilst you’re outside looking up at the sky some get is in your house robbing your cd’s and peeing on your bed….
