what cool things will I see in the sky, when I am sitting out on my Porch in the Early morning, just looking up at the vast UNIVERSE?...... I have already identified the Big Dipper, and I got to see the Space Station go overhead, I also Identified JUPITER, in the Western part of the sky where I live, which is in Peoria,ILL . I have also seen Starlink, satellites, although another member in stargazers lounge,said if I keep looking up I just might see satellites that Chine will launch, or even some Russian satellites, but lately its been cloudy here in ILL, where I live, so I haven't got to see much up in the sky, hopefully in the next couple days,it will clear up here in Peoria and I will get to observe, more things in the sky.

I am currently taking a class online, in Astronomy, it is on confronting the Big Question???. Our we alone in the universe? it has a lot to do with asking the Question, what is Life?, and What Does it mean to be Alive? I have often thought, about those Questions, but am not sure, how to answer that Question. there our many, many Questions, that we don't have the answers to , the mystery of life, is just what it is a mystery. we Don't know, that is Why this Question is so Big, I just started the class,as of today and it is very interesting, thus far,I have learned about the Gas Giant Plants in our cosmos , and next will be Gas Giants Vs Liquid Giant plants. its a good Question when you think about it, and as those who love and study Astronomy, that is the big Question, that we should be asking our selves, as we look up into our Cosmos, the Two Big Questions Being what is the definition of Life, and what does it mean to be alive?????? 🥸

Thank you Hope you have fun when you come to Peoria Next week By the way where are you from.?

so it could have been a Meteor that I saw???🤔

was sitting out on my porch Early this morning, and was looking at the Eastern part of the sky, saw an object shoot across the Eastern part of the sky, not sure if it was a comment, or a shooting Star it shot so fast across the sky,I could not tell what I might have saw.

was sitting out on my poarch early this morning, spotted the Space Station, fly right by from NW, and even though I waved up at them,I knew that,they could not see me waving to them, but just the thought,of one of the astronauts, sitting in the coupola, looking down on the Earth, and being able to see me waving, at them would be so awsome, however the work that they our doing on the Space station, is going to benifit all of us here on Earth. I have been so Interested in Space, and the Universe for as long as I can Remember , I sit on my Porch early every morning, just looking at the morning stars,and woundering if there is life outside of our Universe.

I am wanting to know, How I can get other people on this forum,to start following me,I am looking to meat Different,people, and make new friends,

Sitting out on my porch the last two mornings, I spotted the space station, right above me, I Waved up at them, I know that they can't see me waving at them, but I know that they appreciate, the fact That I made the effort to wave at them anyway

Sounds interesting

I was just out on my porch early this morning, and saw a shooting star, and am also seeing a bunch of satellites 🛰 in the atmosphere, there is so much going on in the cosmos this morning.

I am not new to Stargazing, But I would like to know what Plants, to observe this spring with either the naked eye, or with my Telescope, I have been told in the past to just get out and stargaze, and get used to looking at the night sky, but to just take my time since I am Amateur Astronomer , I have a lot to learn, and am willing to learn from all people on this forum. I also have Celestron Binoculars that I can use as well as a Celestron Telescope, so hoping to get out very soon, I cant wait for Spring to get here so that I can get out there, but need to wait too see what our ground hog has to say, either it will be six more weeks of winter,or an early spring...

cool I bet that you can see so many way cool objects with that big boy🤖

bject I was out on my Porch this morning at about 4:00 am, observing the morning sky, and was looking straight to the East, and saw a small blinking object,not sure what it was,I can look on my star chart,but am still getting used to using my star chart, it was a tiny orange little object,and I was observing it with my eyes, did not use my telescope to observe, tomorrow morning I can go out there with my Binoculars tomorrow morning and look at the object that way

I was not sure if they were Booster Rockets,It was just Before sunrise that I saw an object going Across the early morning sky, as I said it was way before sunrise,it could have been GPS 2 -17 ROCKET 1,or it could have been a satellite or even a Starlink 1353,I am not sure what it was that I saw, so another member gave me too websites and I looked up both and booked mark both websites so that I can go back to either website and look up the object that I am seeing,and find out what Im seeing the websites our ww.heavens-above.com/main.aspx the other website is,https://in-the -sky.org

is it possible that what I am seeing is cosmos 1455 rocket or would it be possible that I am seeing Starlinck 1551 I might even be seeing cosmos 807 or GPS 2-17 ROCKET
