Winter…the best time to watch Stars★

by Misaki | December 10, 2011

Hello, lovely readers!

The picture was taken by my father, which is the picture of Comet Hale-Bopp with the 45-m telescope at Nobeyama Radio Observatory. The radio telescope is the biggest in the world as of now, and this is the place where my dad has been working…

Few days ago, when I looked up, I could see a lot of stars even in South Florida! The weather started to get colder and colder, and this time you can start to see stars more clear and clear!

My hometown is surrounded my all mountains, like Alps. So during the winter, I can see tons of stars in the sky. It seems like it is covered in specks of sparkling sugar! yummmmy. :)

Since the air is very clean and clear during winter, it is easier for us to watch stars. So whenever I think of winter, I think of stars, probably I was influenced by my dad, because he always talks about stars and planets using a telescope at my house. Sometimes we put warm stove in outside, and all my family stays in outside whole night to simply watch stars. :)

You can see different stars depends on the place you are located in, but hopefully you can look up to the sky and watch some stars during the winter when you have free time.
