Looking Out (for real) on Lookout Mountain

May 16th, 2007

Everyone has a Lookout Mountain in their town.  Sure, if you live smack dab in the middle of Kansas, your “mountain” may be a rooftop…likewise if you live in the Alps your mountain may be practically impossible to climb.  The point here is that everyone has a place to go and “gaze at the stars”. (We use quotes here, because everyone also knows that “gazing at the stars is code for making out or imbibing something you shouldn’t)

We think “gazing” has gotten a bad rap, and therefore introduce the Stellarscope as a means to make your “Lookout Mountain” the platform to the heavens it was always meant to be. The Stellarscope is a tool for charting the night sky on any day of the year. This portable planetarium uses computer-generated star maps and a series of calibrated wheels to help you find and identify the constellations and major stars. Includes night-light. That’s kind of sexy. 

And it’s made in France.  And they know romance.

Think about it – all those wasted moments with “what’s her name” could have been spent correctly identifying Orion, Cassiopeia, and  Piscis Austrinus. And then, in your older (and wiser) years, you would be able to pass on such information to someone who actually cares.  You would in fact be full of useful knowledge – able to sustain nighttime conversation while gazing at the stars – and possibly that much more romantic.

Now all you need to find is a really comfy blanket.
