Jupiter to brighten the night sky

Posted on | August 19, 2007 | 13 Comments

So they say.

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.
