Do you like to look at the sky?
Yes, for sure. Whenever I get the chance, I love to
take in a beautiful sunrise or sunset. Mind you, I do
live in a city, so the sky is often overcast or polluted
and it’s not so easy to catch sight of the sun or
the stars

Do you know much about the
stars?
To be honest, not a great deal. I mean, I learnt
about the the milky way at school, and actually I
have picked up the names of a few common
constellations from a mobile app. So, I learnt
about the Great Bear and Orion, things like that.
Not a great deal: I don’t know much
Pick up: learn something informally
How did you learn about the
