I think it's mine that are. But we've been told off about this before.

You can design your own constellations on Animal Crossing: Wild World!

I can design my own constellations with a bit of paper and a pen, too.

I went stargazing last night. I saw Orion, Taurus, the Pleiades (all 7 of them!), Perseus, Cassiopeia, Augila, Trianglum (yay!) and Aries. Mars was in Aries yesterday. And I also saw the general vicinity Gemini was in, but the Moon was in the way.
The Pleiades look just like a minature Plough - so cool...

I like the plough. It's one of the only constellations I can actually pick out.

I can't pick out any of them... I don't know where to start...

I can only pick out Orion and Cassopeia. I use them to find Taurus and the Pleiades, then I use star charts (splattered in blood...GIVE ME MEDUSA!) to find the rest.

Cheese, then.
Should this now be called the "teenandrandom20yearoldwhoreallyoughttogetoutmorescienceforum"?

I can identify Orion, the Plough and Cassiopeia. If I bothered looking them up I might manage some more. MH, where do you go for your stargazing? I'd have thought that in the middle of London there would be too much light pollution.

On some nights, I can see the stars in my back garden. Not tonight, though.

I can see all of those that Michael (hi, by the way)can see, plus the seven sisters normally. Although are they a nebula? How many of the seven sisters can everyone see? I can normally see7, occassionly 6 or 8. I think the records 13.

One of the best places that I've been stargazing was Lyme Regis. The sky was really clear and you could see a few constellations that are usually too faint to see. My mum was pointing them out to me.

Unfortunately, Lyme Regis is a bit out of the way for me ...
