I love all seasons really. Spring is fresh, bright and colourful. Summer is warm summer evenings sitting outside and enjoying the weather, Autumn has a feel of the end of an era which I also like. Especially being a gardener. You must start doing and planning for next year. Winter is great too. It has Christmas, snow and for me less work which is nice. Cant choose.
Is it/do you think it is strange moving to the other side of the world and having Christmas in summer?
Christmas in summer takes some getting to grips with, but it does have its' plus side. Summer holidays and Christmas go together, so it is easy to go away for 3 weeks over Christmas, it is not a rush to get to the family home, then have to dash back a couple of days later to get back to work. Plus Christmas dinner outside in the sun is quite cool.
Have you ever watched a full solar eclipse?
A total one was in 1999 and this was the best place to see it. However it wasn't as spectacular as I expected.
Have you ever seen a tornado?
No...although there was one quite close by when I was in the US for a few months.
Have you seen a total lunar eclipse...the so-called blood or copper moon? beautiful sight :)
Yes. It was scary cos I was on holiday at the seaside and didn't know about the eclipse.
Have you ever seen the moon rising from the sea?
umm, I think no as I haven't been to many east-facing sea-side places..The Arabian sea is 250km from me that is the one which gets visited most often and it faces west.
We were on a beach and a friend of mine did get up early to watch the sun rising from the sea :D I guess she forgot that we are on the Arabian Sea and not the Bay of Bengal!
Sunrise or sunsets?
Sunrise because I never got to see any.
What's your fav planet?
Saturn. The rings just make it look so beautiful but sinister at the same time. next is Neptune though :love:
same question?
Venus. Because I'm a Taurus.
Did you study astronomy in school?
Only a little bit about the physics like orbits/gravitation etc. I read/learnt more and more about it on my own out of interest later on.
Who will be the next poster here or is it another 1-on-1 today?
