Well, yeah, that's unavoidable. But there's something spectacular about Orion over your head on a crystal clear moonless night with a blanket of snow on the ground.
 
How late were you up :confused:



Anyway, if you are a night owl, you can see about 75% of the constellations visible in your location on any given night. You just have to stay up all night ;)

Or live in the Arctic/Antarctic circle, that works too . . .
 
Yeah, definitely a chill in the air, yesterday was down to 111.
If I die and get sent to hell I'll have to come back for blankets.

I got to bed around 11. I saw the constellation about 5:45 as I was taking the trash out.

Orion is amongst the minority that walks around the sun every year.

That depends on your latitude. If you at the North or South Pole, you get all the same stars every night. If you are at the equator, all the stars are seasonal.

You are in between, but you still have more seasonal stars than circumpolar.
 
Winter? :eek:

Maybe in Indiana. Down here it's the peak of hurrican season. Well, two days past the peak to be accurate. Winter doesn't officially start until the Canadian's show up in their speedo suits and the accents change from South Florida to South Jersey. :cool:
