I have to keep going outside during the evenings to get firewood or to refill the cat food bowl from outside storage. Even though I live relatively close to a built-up area, the stars are quite visible here. It's something that somehow fascinates me, and having spent a few months of my life living in the middle of cities, it's something I don't take for granted.

Anyway if you're living in the northern hemisphere in Europe, now is a very good time to view Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn...
