Ed Sheeran has taken an interest in astronomy and has reportedly built an observatory in his garden that features "state-of-the-art equipment" for his new hobby.
The singer-songwriter, 31, is one of the biggest names in music which means that he's often particularly busy - with him set to embark on another tour soon.
When he isn't travelling the world though, the Grammy Award winner is said to enjoy looking up at the stars in his back garden - and he even has special equipment.
That's according to a source who has said that Ed "knows a thing or two" about astronomy and can often be found observing constellations when he's at home.
The source told the Sun that Ed "doesn't have many nights off" - especially when he's on tour - but when he does, he "loves to be able to look up at the night sky."
They said that he has "all the gear to observe the constellations" and commented that he might surprise a lot of his fans to learn that he knows about astronomy.
The source added: "There is a powerful telescope for him to use for his stargazing and, because he lives out in the countryside, it is really dark and the visibility is great."

The source said that it's been a "fun thing to learn about" for the singer - who has a young child with wife Cherry Seaborn - with the hobby potentially influencing his outlook.
Observing consellations and such in the night sky "can really put things into perspective," commented the source - with Ed able to do so from the comfort of his garden.
The Mirror approached Ed's rep for comment.
He has previously sung about staring up at the sky in his song All of the Stars, released in 2014 - which was featured during the credits of the film The Fault in Our Stars.
The song charted in several counties including in the UK where it reached Number 46, with the track said to have been certified Platinum in the US and Canada.
Ed won't be able to use the astronomy equipment in his garden much over the coming months as he'll be on his Mathematics Tour, which begins later this month.
It will see him travel around Europe over the coming months, until September, with him then set to tour parts of Australia and New Zealand early next year.
