The old Perry Como song talks of putting a star in your pocket, and while you will not be able to do that, you can arrange to visit the Dearborn Observatory and view the stars!
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
Dearborn Observatory is located on the Evanston campus of Northwestern University. There are free public viewings on Friday evenings where you can stop in and do a little star watching.
The observatory was originally constructed in 1888.
The Observatory is open to the public for viewing with the historic 18.5" refracting telescope every Friday night from 9:00 - 11:00 PM
Rain or Shine! But of course, clear nights are better for viewing!

Congratulations @melinda010100!
Your post was mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade in the following category:
Whoops... Several of these comments are from the cc bot. Is there a way you can eliminate them from your totals? They hardly count as real engagement!
My hit-parade tends to reflect the activity of the blockchain, including that generated by bots.
It would be an exhausting job to permanently update the list of bot to exclude them. Moreover, this could be considered sort of censorship, which I do not want.
I agree that these choices make the result a bit less accurate, but I honestly think it's a lesser evil.
You provide 100.0 CC for your comments.

@commentcoin thank you. To be honest I like to see it confirmed.
Thanks for coming by. Yes I bought some CC to get started. I think it is going to be a great token for all of us Engagers!
You need to be away from city lights to watch for meteors.
@melinda010100 I live on the country. No city lights and only a few houses in this area. I can see the stars clearly. Never saw a shooting one. Perhaps too cloudy or fog?
I will check the tag from now on daily. It is a good way to find content too..I will see how to buy asap my connection is better.
I wish you a great day.
❤️
I bought them through my Steem Engine wallet. 1 Steem gets you a lot of Tokens!
@melinda010100 Good to know. I heard in the future you might need 20 or 30 for one tag because of its value. ❤️
That makes sense. Thanks. I just went and bought a bunch. The price has already gone up.
@melinda010100 I just bought too. 💕
wow... you already have 100CC 😂

I had a few cents in my SE account and it just needed to be spent! 😁
Nice view of falling star photography.
😀 Thanks!
Wow! How nice to have this observatory nearby so that you could drop by to say hello to your favourite stars or to flag some UFOs!

[@alucian] You´re welcome. :-)
It is near my son's house. Watching for aliens would keep those students busy! 👀

Oh! I do hope they will contact these Aliens one day! Hope they know how to use telepathy while communicating!!
That would be interesting, wouldn't it?
They should practice using their sixth sense soon! They are waiting to contact gentle earth people!! 😊😇😎
Oh, how I would like a telescope like that! I used to have a nice 4-inch refractor, but this thing is 19 inches... that would be awesome!

You could count moon rocks!
Wow! Does the moon look bigger with that massive telescope, even though when it’s shrinking into a new moon? 🌙

I'm not sure, but I think you would be looking at individual craters and rocks!

I would love to look at some stars through a grand telescope like this !
You have received 1 CommentCoin by writing a comment!
I went once, but it was too cloudy to have a clear view.
Oh ! Bummer ! :)
Usually there are so many people that if you do get a turn to look through the telescope, you only get time for a quick glance.
Good to know , thanks for sharing with us

That sounds like fun. I suppose you can't hook your camera up to it like a big lens? lol

They barely give you time to glance through it. The clear evenings are pretty crowded.
My dream is to visit an observatory and to be able to look at the sky with bigger telescope than mine.
I love to watch the sky and despite the light polution I am happy to see Jupiter and Saturn from home. But I would be thrilled to see more.

This one in Chicago is a short bus ride from my son's house, Yerkes Observatory which houses the biggest refracting telescope in the world is less than an hours drive from here,although it is no longer open to the public. In the next town over there is an Observatory with a 16 inch aperture diameter Cassegrain reflecting telescope. So there really is no excuse not to visit. They host some really great lectures there. You would love it!

Oh, lucky you. There is an observatory not far from my place but they show the public their 6 inch telescope, which is the same as mine. But who knows, one day I may have better chance. Still it is on my bucket list.😀
Come visit anytime... I can direct you to the stars!

That is so kind of you, thanks Melinda.

Howdy Melinda! Very interesting indeed! I assume they let people look through it too but it's mostly for viewing stars at night I'd think.
Yes, public viewings are on Friday nights. I don't know why the cc bot didn't work on your comment. As a test would you make a fresh new comment, please?
Ok, I'll go over there now.
