Well, I was just about to go to bed and thought I'd step out on my balcony and take a peek at the sky. I saw what I thought was Orion... and then I used my Star & Planet locator - which I semi-learned how to use today - and it confirmed my guess. I tried to take a picture and failed, and then decided that I was too tired and cold to do anything more.
I thought I would jot this down before I go to sleep.
Maybe tomorrow night I'll add in some coffee and a coat and actually have a productive astronomy observation.
Until then, goodnight world :)

can you hear me now?
Welcome to Astronomy by Ashlee.
I will be blogging here for PHY205: Astronomy for Teachers.
Throughout the next few months, I'll be doing my best to post regularly about the things I am learning and doing related to astronomy. Actually, it's a sort of "scavenger hunt" of specific things I am supposed to seek out and observe. Here, I will report my success in making these observations... hopefully.
– several key constellations,
– a sunrise and a sunset
– the moon – on at least on four separate occasions
– at least two planets (not earth)
– at least two satellites (not Iridium flares)
– an Iridium flare
– at least one other astronomical event, object or phenomenon
Well, it should be interesting :)
