Are you interested in what's happening up in our galaxy - the world beyond that exists only in our imagination? Well, when we are sailing, there is nothing else to excite me at nights but what is happening up in the skies. I would read up on astronomy, positions of well-known stars and planets that are visible to the naked eyes. I would spend hours looking for them at nights. What helped in my imagination is the greek mythology surrounding the stars. It is really quite interesting.
Although it is easier to study the skies from the ocean without the urban obstructions, it is still possible from where you live. Just the other day, I was able to watch the partial lunar eclipse. I knew it was supposed to be a full moon night, but when I looked up, the moon was not full. And how did I know that a partial lunar eclipse was going on? It is because I occasionally read the Astronomical Diary. You can do likewise here - link.
PagAsa is the weather station in the Philippines. This is where I check our weather satellite picture (updated hourly from 6 am until 9 pm). Not only does it report weather, but it also features articles of other weather phenomena affecting the country. This coming August, the astronomical diary states this will be the month to observe meteor showers. If you have not seen one yet, try looking out for them. I have seen quite a few during our sailing years and it is very exciting.
