Not sure this is the kind of day you really want to celebrate but… your choice. The occult in not always a bad thing, it simply means mysterious like Astronomy and Alchemy, but we have made it something evil. So in the world today we have to be very careful how we use the word and it is generally better just left that we don’t. Stay safe today, don’t venture much from the known and you will be fine.
How to celebrate – Take care today. Study the art of alchemy. Look to the stars for your future.
Today we celebrate all that surrounds us in space. The galaxy, the stars, the planets and generally anything dealing with space. Astronomy, of course, is the study of all things concerning space but also things that are no longer in existence, since many of the stars we see have already burned out since the image was made present. It can take up to thousands of years to see that light from deep space. The science is sometimes referred to “Seeing the past”. This day was created by Doug Berger in 1973 to honor those who study space and all that goes along with it.
How to celebrate – Break out your telescope! Study the stars. Join an astronomy club.
We more commonly call meteors “Fallen Stars” or “Shooting Stars” and a lot of us watch the sky for them, sometimes to make a wish, other times just to marvel at the universe around us. A meteor is not all that interesting actually, it is space dust (or junk) and ice, making it’s way through our atmosphere looking like a ball of fire. They can somewhat be projected with January, April, May, July, August, October, November and December having the most activity. Check you internet for what meteor showers normal come when.
How to celebrate – Catch a falling star… (No don’t really, you won’t like the results). Watch for “Shooting Stars”. Become a student of Astronomy.
Are you ready to explore the vast and mysterious universe? Look no further than April 28th – International Astronomy Day! This day celebrates the wonders of the cosmos and encourages people to gaze up at the sky with curiosity and awe.
Astronomy is not just about gazing at stars and planets; it’s a complex science that has helped us understand the fundamental laws of the universe. From the formation of galaxies to the discovery of new planets, astronomy has always been a subject of fascination and intrigue for humanity.
So, what better way to celebrate International Astronomy Day than by immersing yourself in the wonders of the universe? Get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, find a spot with minimal light pollution, and lay down to gaze up at the stars.
If you want to take it a step further, why not become an astronomer yourself? With the right equipment and a passion for the cosmos, you can discover new planets, stars, and even black holes! Who knows, maybe you’ll be the next astronomer to make a groundbreaking discovery.
And let’s not forget about the beauty and poetry of astronomy. We name stars after our loved ones, we navigate using the constellations, and we make wishes on falling stars.
So take a moment on International Astronomy Day to marvel at the majesty of the universe and all the wonders it holds.
This is your day if you like to look up into space, either through a telescope or via the naked eye. There is a lot to see but the more trained you are, the more you will actually see. Most people just see a lot of stars, the moon and occasionally a random planet but there is so much more. Today was created by Doug Berger of the North California Astronomical Association back in 1973. Who knows what surprises might be out there in the universe and there’s only one way to find them, look up!
How to celebrate – Buy a telescope. Visit an observatory. Become an astronaut.
