Let's Stargaze in the Daytime

I am not an expert in astronomy, but isn't this impossible within the visible spectrum? Do most otaku possess scientific apparatus sensitive to non-visible wavelengths?

They could always gaze at the sun. For a long period of time. That's sure to go well.

That was what I was wondering. The sun seems to do a pretty effective job of obscuring stars during the day.

Where in the article did it ever say that "stargazing" was referring to astronomy? Maybe everyone will just be looking at her.

. . .

Hey, don't diss it, it's a better explanation than "maybe they've found ways of looking at actual stars in the daytime".

I was gonna say, there's only one star that I know of visible during the middle of the day, and staring into it isn't the brightest idea in the world. Razz
