You never realize just how often clouds are around until you want to look up.

If you're like me weather has a huge influence on my work so you develop an oversensitivity to it and always looking at the sky taking notes, observing how it behaves and learning to predict what it's gonna do next.

These are the consequences of using the cloud for everything!

Regular stars are cool too so I check whenever I'm outside at night

Light pollution means you don't even need clouds to miss the stars

My favorite star is Sirius, my favorite constellation is Cassiopeia. I try to find them every night.

God, is this true. Missed both the eclipse and the aurora borealis to clouds. The thing is that the other days were sunny.

You couldn't even tell it was happening. Fully overcast.

About 5 years ago my wife and I went to Bryce Canyon. The area around there is fairly secluded with few people living there, thus there's little light pollution. As a result, the area is well known for it's night sky, as you can see more stars there than just about anywhere else in the continental US. Anyway, guess what we saw when we were there.

Rochester, NY checking in. Couldn't see the total solar eclipse due to clouds.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

So I drove up to see the totality and it was cloudy as shit in the DFW area. About 10 minutes beforehand the clouds parted.

I got super lucky.

Doesn't a lunar eclipse happen way more often?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I had the same problem with the Perseids.
