What more can I say except that the very first hour of the 100 Hours of Astronomy was underwhelming for me?
I didn't really intend the first hour of 100 Hours of Astronomy to be like this. As you know, the 100 hours started from April 2. I wanted it to start with observing the sky through my telescopes. So I was there on my terrace with my two telescopes. The people I invited were there.
I scheduled an observation session from 00:01 to 01:01. But, alas, I was disappointed.
I was ready. I had everything ready. But something undesirable -- and also unchangeable -- happened. The weather in Kolkata proved a dampener for me. The sky was overcast! The red clouds created an impenetrable wall between the two of us -- the sky and yours truly. How much I loathe those red clouds!
But I was not completely disappointed. I did get a very faint and very brief view of Saturn. Just that, nothing else!
But astronomy isn't limited to observation. 100 Hours of Astronomy means the endless celebration of this branch of science, right? So who can possibly stop my celebration?
I will do more stuff today, involving even a greater number of people.
The celebration has begun. You better take part in it before it's too late.
