This site is for Astronomy Studies in the Tropics. I'm based in East Pattaya, Thailand, 12.934N, 100.918E, between the sun's northern limit and the Equator. The big advantage of this location is that you can observe both northern and some southern stars at the same time. And it's never cold... lol. I hope to introduce you to the unique celestial opportunities available from this area. Enjoy your observations!! Taro Seki Astropical.uk

The Orion Three Stars? No but the Gemini Three Stars (Castor,Pollux,Mars)

I was looking up at the sky in the back alley behind my house and was surprised to see two three stars in different places.

When I calmed down and looked more closely, I saw that Mars was exactly in the line of Castor and Pollux in Gemini.
It is a size larger than the three stars of Orion, but the angle of their alignment is about the same, which was impressive.
I usually try to burn into my mind anything I can see with the naked eye, but since this is something I rarely see and I hadn't taken any photos of the stars for ten days, I decided to take a photo.

家の裏道で空を見上げてたら、三つ星が２ヶ所にありびっくりした。

落ち着いて見てみると、ちょうど双子座のカストルとポルックスの延長線上に火星がいた。

オリオンの三つ星より一回り大きいが、整列の角度もほど同じで印象的だった。

普段は眼視で見えるものは脳裏に焼き付けておくのだが、滅多に見れないのと１０日も星を撮っていなかったので撮影して見た。
