The stars at night are big and bright, deep in the heart of Dorset

After letting the dogs out tonight for their last pee before bedtime, we can't get over the stars in the night sky.

 

Previously living in Woking, Guildford, Kingston and yes Farnham complete with residual street lighting, it's so nice to see for real the sky at night.

We are supposed to be 'misty' here tonight (according to the great weather forecasters) but still lovely and clear.

Sorry about your fog - expect we will wake up to horrid ice.

Can't see a thing here in Shropshire...too foggy.

The best starry night I've seen this year was at about 4am in Aberfeldy while I was on holiday. No light pollution whatsoever. Picture perfect.

Absolutely fantastic.

Note to self - Must learn more about the stars.

Trouble is, the best nights for star gazing are usually the coldest. I used to like watching satellites go over (especially the big ones like Mir, Hubble and the Space Station) but it can be a chilly old job. If you want to see some really spectacular night skies, get yerself over to New Zealand (if you ever get the opportunity).

Bright stars and twinkling, thick frost here in North Somerset.
I know what you mean about the complete dark. Stayed on Dartmoor couple of years ago. Could see the Milky Way, and magical succession of shooting stars!!
Felt so restored.
