These were interesting when I was a kid, but there are so many specifically rare astronomical events that I'm left with a whole lot of "meh."

- dylan604 2y agoThat’s sad for you. Anytime you can view something that only happens once every so many generations is interesting at the least. If it’s not your hobby, then just say so. That’s like me saying I think all of the GPT chatter is meh. It doesn’t diminish it for those that think it’s man’s greatest accomplishment.
- zamadatix 2y agoOne can definitely still be an avid astronomy hobbyist while finding syzygies seem to have lost their luster over time. It is a bit sad (in a way) but I'm not sure that implies it should be taboo to mention. You don't want people excluded from the hobby on both ends - those that enjoy something particular should not be put down for enjoying it and those of the opposite opinion shouldn't be made to feel they must not be a real hobbyist as a result. Everyone should be able to talk about what they personally do and don't like about it while still enjoying the hobby overall.
