Bit like watching the match from the away bit up in the Gods at Newcastle when we're attacking at the other end

Blue specks were more enjoyable. Brown was a head fuck.

Still not beating going to the warehouse project at Boddingtons on acid and coming home with 280 quid in fivers in my pocket and a new found appreciation for life. 

 

You stole a dealers jeans?

I may have took in a stash of pills 'just in case' I was that fucked on acid I couldn't remember giving or receiving cash. 

I stood for 5 minutes mesmerised looking at a taxis indicator when I got out of the event. 

Ace times. 

Sensible as fuck these days...

Saw it last night. Thought it was too bright but all of a sudden it appeared. Amazing even though it was just a fast moving dot in the sky

Even worse, is you have to wait until over two hours after docking before opening your door!

Comet Neowise visible between now and end of month. 

Don’t worry, if you miss it You’ll get another chance in 7000 years.

For best opportunity, look at the low horizon towards the North with decent binoculars or telescope and from a field away from streetlights.

Aye, that’s because you made sure there was a full moon on show.

Anyone know what that planet/star is around 1/3 of the way in from the right?

Footage like that makes you realise we're all just tiny farts of evolution, lucky enough to witness and comprehend the beauty of being for a brief moment, before our atoms are dispersed back into the ether to become something else - as they were before they were you. #AllLivesAreMatter

Probably Venus or Jupiter? They are the ones easiest to spot from earth.

I can see either Ursa Minor or Ursa Major too (not sure which one) so it could be Polaris?

Either way it's amazing. Wish I knew more about the night sky. Went through a stage if wanting to buy a telescope but it seems daft when I live in a cloudy Astley Bridge and not an always clear Arizona

Looking forward to hols in Nicola land because it's a good dark skies area. Just hope for some clear nights and no cloud.
