Stargaze - 9/30

(This is late :( But I remember a lot!)
On Thursday, September 30th I went to the stargaze on Blackburn Point. I really liked it! Going to the stargaze and seeing the actual stars, as opposed to Star Lab, and finding constellations increased my interest in astronomy exponentially. But anyway, I saw many of the constellations that we have studied. I was able to see the keystone in Hercules, the teapot in Sagittarius, and the scorpion in Scorpius. I also found some of the first magnitude stars, with some help, like Antares and Aquila. AND I saw Jupiter and 3 of its moons, it was really neat. And finally, I SAW A SHOOTING STAR! IT WAS SO NEAT!
