Sky at night! Is it really the weekend so soon?

With more gear than we could possible need, we waste no time in setting up our trusty telescope and aiming it at the vast and infinite universe as we begin to peer through the sights and gasp at what awaits us. Like rewatching old movies, we're peering back in time at some of the biggest stars we've ever seen and wonder just what else could be out there, what events have we missed and of course....are we alone?
Have a happy retro weekend!
