This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Explanation: Before the sun rose over the mountains, iridescent colors danced across the sky. The unexpected light show was caused by a batch of iridescent clouds, and captured on film in early September in Arolla, Wallis, Switzerland. The peak in the foreground of the above image is Aiguille de la Tsa. Iridescent clouds contain patches of water droplets of nearly identical size that can therefore diffract sunlight in a nearly uniform manner. Different colors will be deflected by different amounts and so come to the observer from slightly different directions. Iridescent clouds are best seen outside the glare of the direct Sun although they can occasionally be seen to encircle the Sun.

thats true, ff, but also we are fortunate that rural areas are generally only a quick drive away and we can escape much of the effects of the light pollution (much, not all) certainly enough to make amateur astronomy rewarding. I sometimes (less these days) take the kids over to the Peak district where they can set up their telescope and view away for hours under clear relatively unpolluted skies. obv. for any serious observation its rubbish but it does enough for beginners.
