RE: Fun Under the Night Sky

[zipporah]

This is absolutely fantastic, KittyGirl! Now I find myself wishing I had a proper telescope, or that I had the patience to build one myself!

I love how you began this post – with a little glimpse into your childhood. I always enjoy knowing how a person came to love something, especially when combined with subsequent stories of how that passion unfolded.

Thank you for sharing the wonders of the night sky with us! You also made me hungry with this:

Our galaxy is big in diameter, but relatively thin, like a pancake. We are inside that pancake, so looking towards the center, all we see is a strip of starry goodness.

_{Some 'sparkly' goodness for you – frozen raindrops in the sunshine!}
