Hi B4Xers,

I have a question that I am very much interested in your answers.

What was the last time you looked at the sky (day or night)?

Thank you in advance

10minutes ago .... Looked up to see cloudiness after a few days of sunshine ...

Will be looking at it quite a bit over the next 5 weeks as working away and staying in our caravan overlooking the beach :)

Why do you ask ? Should we be looking for something ..... someone :oops:

My desktop wallpaper has a night sky full of stars (just kidding). Everyday I go out to buy my dinner, I look at the sky. Hopefully no bird is flying above me. :)

Every day. Despite living in a big town, where I live there’s no high buildings, I have a river and a big park beside home, so I look at the sky very often.
This morning (almost every weekend) I run over hills, so I look to the horizon and I see a big blue sky with no clouds…

A few nights ago when it wasn't cloudy over Solihull. I have a Skywatcher telescope with RA motor drive, plenty of eyepieces, filters, camera adapter, USB camera eyepiece and a few other bits and pieces.

Right, I'm off out for a nice long bike ride.

Thank you all for the participation and responses.
I only look up to the sky when I am outside big cities, like when I stop at service areas in highways.

In the beginning we were humans, then came the industrial revolution and she took away some of our human (properties)
including sky watching with all the beauty and harmonizing effects, and reduced to economic insects like ants. I am glad that
all of us here are still humans. Now almost everyone living in the countryside is still a full human, but for those in big cities like New York
I doubt.

I like looking at the sky very often, to see clouds, the blue, the stars...

These last 2 weeks I've been to Iceland (now fun has finished, back to work) and one of those evenings I spent a long time looking at the sky, just in case I saw an Aurora Borealis (chances to see them in this season are really low, but anyhow it was a relaxing experience.?).

we are constantly looking out of the window to see if it looks like rain is coming
Huh? I was told it always rains in the UK...

When we can we eat all our meals in our south facing conservatory so we can always see the sky.

Anyway, in the UK where the weather is a topic of conversation, we are constantly looking out of the window to see if it looks like rain is coming.

Hi Andrew,
I was thinking of excluding the UK from this survey, true.. I heard people there gaze to sky everyday, with the hope of catching a glimpse of sun up there!. (No offense!)
