Venus is regularly in the sky shining brightly as is Mars.
Geeky I know but one of my favourite apps is Sky Guide which is brilliant for identifying stars and satellites.

Tonight is our chance to see a NASA tool bag recently dropped by an astronaut on the International Space Station. It's currently orbiting Earth.

Is Sky Guide a decent app for checking out the stars? I've got the Stellarium app on my phone, but it was the first one I came across years ago when I was looking for free star gazing apps.
One of my favourite things to do is just stare at the sky at night in an area with little to no light pollution. I really should get myself a telescope!

I also think Sky Guide is a better app. Love using it in the garden on a clear night.

If you'd think we'd stoop so low as to resort to terrible puns on a serious thread, then you can kiss my black hole.

That's what I do too. I dread to think what the neighbours think of this weirdo skulking in the dark back garden and holding his phone up to the sky. Must think I'm trying to perv on the lady in the house at the back getting undressed.

Me and two of my cleverest mates have decided to head off in the direction of that star and see exactly what it is.
By my calculations we should get there around December 25th...

SkyGuide is awesome. Love looking at stuff with my eldest bairn and has really educated me with regards whatās in the sky at night.
Now, when people say ālook at that starā or whatever I can usually tell them straight away if itās a star or a planet, and if so which one.
Which planet that is, I havenāt managed to memorise all the stars yet.

Have you booked an Airbnb in advance as it can get quite busy?

I hate to appear misogynistic, but it was a lady who dropped her handbag.
