A nerdish way to spend an evening

  • Get a laptop
  • Install stellarium
  • Go outside and bring:
  • binoculars or a telescope if you have one
  • a bottle of wine (or beer)
  • cheese
  • a blanket
Try a spot where there are no lights. It's hard if you're in the city, but it's really nice when there is darkness around.

Launch stellarium, see the sky. Enjoy.

I loved to use the Planetarium for the Palm Pilot (actually a Sony CliƩ)...haven't found one quite like it for my Pocket PC now...
