Observation 1

On February 14th, yes, Valentine's Day, I went to the beach to look up at the sky at around 9:00 oclock.  Out on the beach at night, with limited light around, is a great place to look at the stars.  The beauty really jumped out at me and for the first time I could locate and perfectly identify the red giant star in Orion, Betelgeuse. It was really cool actually seeing a redish tint to the star knowing that something so much larger than our Sun is out there and visible to me.
