Staring At The Stars

Whilst standing in the garden early this morning waiting for the dogs on the blog to perform their pre bedtimr duties. it occurred to me how lucky we are here that we can still see the stars. When I was young and a member of the boy scouts a highlight of our activities was taking part in night hikes and getting to learn about the stars and constellations that make up our night sky. Younger generations are now gaced swith the difficulty of looking at their universe due to light pollution. We should all take advantage of the opportunities we have in this respect.
