Village Nights: Moon Walkers

Immense sky....immense stars........ makes a sky-watcher's paradise, such is the life in village.
 

No electricity..no scattered light....no dust....a crystal clear sky & day temperature of 46°C down by 24°C is just fantastic to stare at the heavenly bodies..some known and a lot many unknown.
 

A resolution for the next visit with 'Android' based 'Google Sky' application....just point at and know the objects....suspended long....in our lasting memories of childhood....to converse with our traditional astronomical relative....'Moon Uncle' (चंदा मामा hindi)..and ask him for one more time:'How is my mom, Moon Uncle?...Does she remembers me' !! ( चंदा मामा  माँ  कैसी  है ? ....क्या  आती  याद हमारी उसको !! hindi )                                                                                          

Tonight I shall remain awake to hear her whispers..if any !!
