There has been some amazingly clear nights lately and I often find myself staring out the window noticing all the stars. I am that saddo that has an app for telling me which planets are visible, after being being annoyed I couldn't work out what the bright dot was near the moon (turned out to be Venus, just to let you know). If I stand outside my front door I can see Orion's Belt too! See I'm slowly learning the stars, I would love to go proper star gazing.
