The popular expression used for taking a break and enjoying the world around you is "stop and smell the roses." I think a more interesting way to take some time is stopping to take a look up at the sky. There's a lot going on up there. Constellations, the moon, and other planets in our solar system can be seen with the naked eye, so you don't even need to an expensive telescope to take in the awesomeness of the universe.

Of course, there are some times when looking at the sky is better than others. That's why this awesome infographic lists 2016's best skygazing events. Sure, some of them are over and done, but let them serve as a warning to prevent you from missing any more of the awesomeness!
