Hi John... As you know Metaphysics and Astronomy are my two favorite subjects! Orion is one of the few constellations I can actually pick out...;) Thanks for a great post and reminding me how much I love the heavens! Kathy .-= Kathy Dobson´s last blog ..MaxBlogPress Optin Form…New Plug In =-.

We are interested in the same things Kathy. I think appreciating the beauty of the night sky, leads naturally to Astronomy and Metaphysics. John

Hi John,

I agree with Steve. I cant wait for a clear night to investigate the constellations. As you know we have beautiful skies here in North Norfolk.

Enjoy the journey.

I know you love horses Mandy, so you should have an affinity with Orion. My next "Horses Head" post will explain all. John

Hi John, I enjoyed your article and photos. Maybe winter won't be so dull after all. I look forward to reading more and to finding Orion's constellation on a clear night very soon. .-= Steve Deerfield´s last blog ..Portable Database With Power Windows =-.

Clear winter nights are great for star gazing Steve. All the major constellations are showing their full glory. There is a 'Horses Head' in Orion, and I will write another post about this amazing feature. John

Hi John,

I used to love Astronomy! Would you believe it I actually got accepted to study a science degree when I was 18 studying computer science and astro-physics. Instead I deferred, studied art and ended up in the nightclub industry! Oh well! I am getting my computer fix 20 years later. Just shows it is never too late to do what you are meant to. Somehow the life will steer you back on the right path!

When I used to live in far North Queensland we were able to see Scorpio. It was really large in the sky due to being so close to the equator. I used to love looking at it from the balcony where I used to live. It was awesome.

Great post!

Glad you enjoyed the post Jacinta. I'm still learning the constellatons, and don't know Scorpio. I think maybe it's only visible from the Southern Hemisphere? I like your interests; computer science, astro-physics and art - a good wide range of subjects......By the way, when are you going to write a post on how to create all those marvellous smiley icons you use?
