I have seen some really spectacular northern lights in my home above the polar circle. If you have a chance to visit Lapland one day, I recommend you to arrive in late December or early January. It is really exotic up there on that time. Aha, thanks. I did not know that you are located in northern hemisphere. If you wish you could visit northern countries one day, I must say I wish I could see the Milky Way down there one day :) It is really something I definitely would like to observe. It's good that you have such organizations teaching people. Here in north people are aware of the difference between astronomy and astrology, and astronomy is pretty common hobby, even though not as popular as hockey and football of course. Nice to hear about the life and astronomy in Filippines. You are located so far from us, so it is really exiting to hear things and news from the other side of the planet.

I wish I could visit Scandinavia someday. I'm sure it's one of the best places to observe Northern lights. I hope I could see one in my lifetime :D. Philippines is still above the equator so it's still part of the Northern Hemisphere. The last time I saw the Milky way was four years ago. I was at the beach with my friends and all of us were awestruck by the cluster of stars. Most Filipinos love gazing at stars. The problem is that most of them are not aware of the right term to describe this hobby. They usually call it Astrology instead of Astronomy. My astronomical organization hold lectures about earth- moon system, stars & galaxies, solar system, constellations and celestial sphere where we are able to discuss and correct some common misconceptions in Astronomy to other people. We have a few astronomical organizations here in our country. In 2009, our country will participate in the International Year of Astronomy. I hope that year will be a start for my fellow Filipinos to be more aware and interested in skywatching and Astronomy :). Wow! I wish I could visit Scandinavia someday.

How's astronomy in Philippines? Is it a common hobby over there? Here in north pretty many people are interested in skywatching. A Finnish astronomy magazine, "Tahdet & Avaruus", is the biggest astronomy magazine in whole Scandinavia (Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland). Why I mention this is that I feel it tells a bit about the populatiry of astronomy amongst people. Btw, how does Milky Way look from there? I have heard it really looks staggering from Australia and other countries in the southern hemisphere. I have a balcony, but it is a bit freezing out there in winters.

A roof deck? Wow, that's a nice thing. You have your own observatory :) Hey, may I ask from which country you are observing, Erika? Sometimes I go up to northern Finland and I must say conditions are so much better up there. Right on, Erika. A roof deck? Wow, that’s a nice thing.
