Skywatching

Skywatching refers to the activity of observing and studying the sky, particularly celestial events, atmospheric phenomena, and astronomical bodies such as stars, planets, and constellations. Enthusiasts often engage in skywatching to appreciate the beauty of the night sky, track the movements of celestial bodies, and observe events such as meteor showers, eclipses, and the phases of the moon. This practice can be performed with the naked eye or enhanced with telescopes and binoculars. Skywatching can also involve documenting observations, participating in community events, and learning about the science behind what is observed. This activity is integral to both amateur and professional astronomy, promoting a deeper understanding of the universe and our place within it.
