I made me a new icon of my favorite star cluster, the Pleiades :D
Talking about stars I was so busy recently with our house I didn't do any star gazing in quite a while :( Also where we are moving there is much more light around us at night, so there won't be as many pretty stars visible in the sky :( I want to join some local astronomy group and then I could go star gazing with them in darker places, less scary to go in a group in the middle of the night somewhere, than doing it by ourselves :p Tonight I'll try to watch the Leonids meteor shower at about 5am, the peak night was yesterday, but we were working that night. I don't expect to see much, the reports from people observing last night weren't that great, and tonight there's gonna be even less. But even if it's gonna be just two or three meteors per hour it's still cool to see it :p Besides I can just lay there and look at all the other stars in the sky... it's beautiful. I hope it's not gonna be too cloudy. Oh and btw my Google Earth doesn't want to update it's sky chart layers for more recent dates :/ I tried to close it and open it and it gives me some error and doesn't work. I tried to reinstall it and it didn't help too. The one on Josh's computer is working fine though, so maybe I'll just use his.
There's nothing to eat in the house :/ Maybe we'll go get groceries tonight before we starve :p
