MODERATORS
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.
In case you weren't aware that he's a Seattleite.
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.
Two people fucking
Rocks?
Oh, so Southern Ontario.
Rochester, NY checking in. Couldn't see the total solar eclipse due to clouds.
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.
Traveled to Buffalo. No eclipse =(
But you can see Gibbers Crabst.
Yes, this is called living in the pacific northwest ;D
Doesn't a lunar eclipse happen way more often?
Same with meteor showers lol
I had the same problem with the Perseids.
