LOOK AT THE SKY!

OHMYGOODNESS！

right now if you look at the sky in the southwest direction, here's what you'll see (and what I am seeing now):
Venus--bright as ever
a very cute very thin crescent Moon
Jupiter
...and I can barely make out another celestial object with my naked eye...so I went to check it up on Stellarium and guess what? It's MERCURY!!! (the domicile of virgo is mercury, just as the domicile of capricorn is saturn =) )

I dunno why, but seeing this gets me all excited and overwhelmed...and frustrated cos there is no one to share my joy with.

Update at 7.53pm: Haha my mom just finished mopping the floor and went to look at the sky. Her eyesight is pretty good; she can still make out Mercury...hahaha
Mercury is at an altitude of about 5degrees...barely above the top floor of the flat across the street. Argh...demolish that flat!

So I gather I am destined to be an amateur astronomer. Or star-gazer, I should say. Haha I sound like some centaur from Harry Potter world. I like to look at the sky, and wonder, and think about the myths and signs and all sorts of romantic stuff. I'm not really into cosmo and neutrinos and dark matter...
