"After a long break, I indulged in a bit of stargazing this evening. I was particularly excited as January is supposed to witness a rare celestial event – a near alignment of several planets, including Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, culminating on the 25th.
To prepare, I quickly downloaded the Sky Map app and ventured out to a location with minimal obstruction from the towering buildings. I managed to spot Venus, likely due to its proximity to Earth compared to Saturn, as I could only discern one celestial body in the western sky.
Above me, Jupiter shone brightly, a magnificent beacon in the night sky. This celestial spectacle transported me back to my 10th grade, when my youngest brother and I would spend evenings gazing at the stars from our rooftop. The skies were much clearer then, perhaps due to the absence of city lights. I remember answering his countless questions about the cosmos, a cherished memory that filled me with a sense of nostalgia.
With a heart full of wonder and a touch of melancholy, I returned home to prepare dinner."
