For a while I was watching the stars and using planetarium software. Saw different messier objects with the telescope. Was very fun and magical because it's real. The most magical moment happened on a clear crisp night when I was peering up at the arm of our galaxy. For a moment, it felt like I was gaizing across a vast distance at something clearly concentrated and far far away. I almost felt like I'd lose my balance. The feeling of spatial distance was strong. Other than that moment, one night I was looking at Aldebaran and I can't remember the details of it, but the next day I read something about Aldebaran and something was odd about it. Funny I can't recall. Maybe it was a feeling? Not sure. But something - like a coincidence - made me remember it.

Isn't it inspiring to look up at a messier object and to realize it's a galaxy? It seems so unreal.

'
It could be that it is the most recognizable land(space)mark out there. People can identify Orions' Belt before they can identify one of their own planets on a particular night.

So it may just be the recognizable factor that's involved. But then again, whose to say. Maybe if you gravitate towards that and feel a kindred spirit then, maybe you ARE from there. I personally think we're all part of the All.

Now, I'm not sure but is Orion's Belt a part of our 12 (13?) Zodiac?
If so, which sign?
And if not, why not?

Wow. You don't find what you just wrote, odd? I mean.....you were looking at Aldebaran (that's in the Pleiades's, right?) then......you coincidentally read about it the next day (or, were you looking it up?) but yet, you don't remember?

Me's thinks you were having one of them-there ethereal (or missing time) experiences.

Try to remember. If not for you. For me because I am very curious for some odd reason.

I don't remember. Nothing big. Just blurted out without thinking much.

I think it was just something coincidental that left a fading impression on me. Like if I had been looking at a star and then found myself reading about Aldebaran and discovered it was the same star I had been looking at the other night (unaware of the name). Something like that. Maybe not as interesting, though. I don't think you'd be near as interested if I actually remembered.
