Skywatching / Astronomy

As the weather here as been so awful for what seems like forever, there has not been a clear sky for such a long time. Not even nice enough to go and look in between all the clouds as it has been windy and rainy nearly every night. I'm hoping that the weather will improve soon, even just stop raining would be an improvement on how it has been! Makes me wonder is that nice weather we had a couple of weeks ago our Summer, wouldn't be surprised as in the past when the weather has been nice during April it has usually been followed by an awful Summer. Oooh I sound like the voice of doom and gloom.
The shuttle that was delayed from about a fortnight ago is due to take off tomorrow not sure what time our time, but one of my Astronomer friends from Twitter is a font of knowledge so hopefully he'll tweet some information either later or tomorrow. Apparently we should be able to see the shuttle around about 15 minutes after take off not long after the main fuel tank blasts away from it, so may see two bits! How exciting would that be??
