An Interesting Class? Impossible!

Last night's Astronomy class was actually interesting. Well, half of it was anyway.

The last half of class we went outside as the sun was going down and spent an hour or so sitting on the ground outside of the building and gazing up at the night sky, identifying stars and planets. It started out that the only thing we could really see was the moon, but then we spotted Venus and Saturn, the big dipper, a couple of the stars from the Leo constellation and Gemini I believe. And a lot of airplanes.

Anyway, it was a lot more interesting actually going outside and just looking at the stars to see what was out there than sitting in class and having the professor tell us about them.

The class is pretty small too, which is fun for this sort of thing since it feels like you can kinda have a conversation with everybody while you're out there.
