Do you like watching stars? Do you know all the constellations? I usually only see the big and little dipper.

I don't know the constellations...actually it's a load of bollocks, I can link ANY dots together and make my own shape. But still, they're nice to look at. That's one childhood belief I still cling onto. I wish upon stars, and I sometimes go out into my front yard at like, 3 AM and look at the stars and freeze to death. Fun.
 
Where I live there isnt many to be seen. I guess we are lower.. But when I go up in the mountains there is BILLIONS of them.
 
I don't know all of constellations, but i do like seeing them where there's a lot in the sky and it's a clear night.
 
Stars have never really interested me. I don't know why. A star is a star to me.

Sometimes you need to stop and appreciate the little things in life.

Stars are the biggest reason I love living in a little country town.

Sure, I live on the highway and there are lights (especially since I live across the street from the gas station), but I can still see millions of stars. I hate it when I go somewhere like Dallas and I can't see stars.
 
I love the stars. I'm going to college for astronomy and hopefully study space, stars and etc. I live in a small town of only around 40000 thousand or so .. so when your away from the town like where I am (I have a farm and such) you can millions and millions of stars. Its so beautiful, me and my girlfriend regularly just sit out and count them and watch. I love it.

I never see stars at any time anyway as there is too many clouds where I live.
 
Nah, I prefer clouds & sunsets over watching the stars. During the night I am asleep, not watching stars! Also, it is cloudy here, so we do not see a lot of stars, and if we do it is only a few.
 
I love stars. It is so peaceful to sit outside in the country and watch the stars. I don't know the constellations either. Some of you may know I have gone by stargazer or star on different forums.
 
I found out something that probably everyone already knows, but I found it so cool. Stars, when you see them from here on Earth, you are looking at the past. Because the light takes so long to get to your eyes, you are looking at a star which might already not exist. But you can't see that yet.
