Astronomy

To much of my delights, there is plenty star gazing activity line up this month. Went East Coast Park to view the orionid meteor shower. Although there was few unpleasant experiences the shooting star that I saw had made it all up. Saw 3 shooting star in all! Two of them was shinning brilliantly across the cloudy sky while the other move across the vast dark night leaving a long tail behind. What a sight! A pity I didn't get to catch all of them. Of course there was some disappointment. My junior, sigh, I don't even wanna to mention them. We also encounter an unpleasant situation with RGS girls and the organizer. They took our rented bike without our consent (they ask permission from other camper). The RGS girls were simply unreasonable. Although it was a misunderstanding they should give an apology at the least. To make matter worst they even had the cheek to smile at us. Damn all those girls. Just their luck that they didn't get it from me. I was really mad that I pushed Mark to his limit. He keep apologizing and trying to make things right.

Stay back quite late yesterday night too. We were suppose to set up telescope for NUS student but little did we expect only 3 came. Nevertheless, it was quite fruitful. Saw the moon and Jupiter again. The moon still look so awe aspiring with all the craters. Jupiter was nice too! with the brown grey strips across the body planet and 4 brilliant star around it. Learned about the summer triangle namly the Altair, Vega and Deneb. This three star was suposedly following the chinese mythology, qi xi or rather the niu lang and zhi nv. Altair was suposed to be the male counterpart whereas Vega being the female. Both star was hanging opposite from each other sepearted by the milky way. Deneb being the magpie link both star together. Interesting! Vega was nice too! it appear link a ring diamond sparkling with different colours in the dark sky.
