Went to Mt Laguna. =) 45min away fr school.. 6000+ feet. But we went up to about 4000ft only. To do what? Watch the stars. =) Love this class and love the small size of the class. A class with a waitlist of a hundred people but end up with a class size of 7. How cool is that?

Wasn't as cold as it's supposed to be. Weather report says it's 0C but it's nowhere near there, 7-8C I'll say. But of course that's cold enough for Southern Californians. Haha. I'm glad I have my Boston/ NY clothes and I'm glad there's a chance to wear them. Saw a moon halo, remember the sun halo? It's going to rain tomorrow. Saw meteors. 2 of them. Made wishes. =) Saw a man-made satellite. Most of the time, just hung around and tried not to get blinded by camera flashes. Lay on the ground and stare at the night sky. This is life man. Too bad there were clouds and we couldn't see the Milky Way. That would have been fantastic. But managed to use my planosphere to locate many many constellations. Rocks. Saturn is, as usual, fascinating; Nebulae are cool; Moon was blinding through the telescope, took quite a while to unbleach my visual purple after looking at it. Fantastic class.

一闪一闪亮晶晶，
满天都是小星星，
躲在天上放光明，
好象你的小眼睛
一闪一闪亮晶晶，
满天都是小星星.
Just couldn't remember the lyrics just now, or maybe I never knew it. Couldn't get past the 2nd line. Hee. And while googling that up, found this..

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Jane Taylor wrote the lyrics in 1806.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky you keep,
While you thro' my window peep,
And you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Was this the original song?
