I did some stargazing last night with my small reflector telescope. This year has been the first year I've really gotten into stargazing in general, and it's made me hyper-aware of things like seasonal changes and the phases of the moon.
It's been really cool actually noticing the nights getting longer on a day by day basis and the visible constellations changing in tune. The Pleiades cluster is starting to rise at a reasonable time now. It's so beautiful and obvious to just the unaided eye that I'm really shocked I had never noticed it before actively seeking it out.
Nice! That's really cool. In my line of work I am also rather aware of the changing of the sunset/sunrise as the year shifts. This time of year has gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, too.
