Starlight, Starbright ...

[francois]

For the first time in all the years visiting Pattaya, I finally saw a few stars in the heavens. Normally there are the Moon, the planet Jupiter and the brightest star, Sirius, but tonight I viewed 50 stars from the roof of my condo.
Most prominent was the constellation Orion directly overhead.
Light pollution obscures most of the sky but tonight was a minor treat.

In the taxi down I watched the biggest and brightest star I've ever seen. Initially I thought it was plane coming in to land and then I assumed it was a big light on a building such was it's brilliance and size.

Perhaps you should consider sending a report to MUFON, arsenal.

Those are called satellites.

Oh dear. I'm not sure you're ready for an intellectual debate matty. Not even with dazed and confused freaky.

Yes, stars tonight, you don't see it often here.
Laying on sand, right across Royal Garden, 1.37am, there is a bright star looking at Pattaya. This almost never happens.



Listening to David Bowie "Starman" now.

In Hua Hin the sky has been a brilliant blue for nearly a week now. And along with the clear sky comes an extraordinary heat wave. It's bloody boiling here!
Last week I could feel the cooling start of a Thailand winter, but it didn't last long.

Those specks of light near the leaves and branches could well be from the fireflies.

What!!?? These are not some bugs flying around, these are stars! Fireflies lol. What's next, mosquitoes with tiny LEDs attached to their backs?

You ruined my romantic nights on the beach with your firefly suggestions! I'm not going tonight!

Most likely it was not a star, but the planet Jupiter.
