Astronomy Group

[Ocean Girl]

I started an astronomy social group( Astronomy for Sailors), thought it would be a good place to discuss stars and interesting celestial happenings. We sailors tend to have the best view to the night sky.

I remember the first time I was shown the Southern Cross. I was cheek to cheek with an handsome South African on a deserted tropical beach, that is when my love for stargazing really took off . I have seen numerous satellites, shooting stars, also saw the space shuttle silhouetted againsts a starry black sky (very cool!).
