We were walking home from an event Friday night and looking up at the sky. The planets were surprisingly visible especially in the small town where we had our event. The fingernail moon... and I could find Mars from its reddish tint.
Or the time that we saw Saturn using our hobby telescope. Thought that there was a smudge on the lens and then we realized that it was the rings that made it look distorted. Very exciting.
Urban lighting has resulted in the vast majority of earth’s present population being largely unfamiliar with the heavens. Such a shame...glad you’ve got opportunities.
