FOR STARGAZERS : There are planets, star clusters, star clouds and galaxies and to be seen and experienced when the sky is sufficiently clear. Astronomical wonders are often visible in Singapore if you have the patience and awareness to spend a few seconds every day to just look up and check the condition of the sky.
