No matter how far away you are in your sophistication as an amateur astronomer, there is always a key point is that we all have to come back to that. This is the first time that we have to go to a place where you can really see the cosmos in the clear, and you're going to see in the night sky. The inhabitants of the cities and that revelation is as deep as it was found out that the aliens live among us. Most of us have no idea what it is, a vast panorama of lights that the clear night sky when there are no city lights to obstruct the view.
Of course, we all love our extensive knowledge and experience in the study of the heavens with a telescope and a variety of sizes and powers of the telescope. But I'll bet that I can remember, as a child, the first step is to see a fully-visible, clear night-time sky and all the wonderful signs, meteors, or comets moving around, and the claims of the points of light, far, far from the myriad of ever getting up.
The best way to experience the wonder of this moment in time is to go to the village for your child or someone who has never experienced this feeling. It may be the case that they are up and look at it and say, this is a powerful word, that's the only one who can summarize the feelings and emotions they have when we look at this beautiful sky. That word is "Wow."
Perhaps the most amazing fact about what a child is watching and what will be the most difficult for them to understand is the absolute magnitude of what is above them and what they represent. The fact is that, almost certainly, almost every point in the sky is a star or celestial object that is much larger than that of the Earth, and not two, or ten times, but hundreds or even thousands of times, it might be a good idea for the kids. It is tough for children to adjust to the size of the Earth, let alone on such a large scale and in space.
But when it comes down to the ring, we will do better if we dive into ever-deeper levels of awe at what we see in the sky. The surprising truth about what the kids are looking for is that you can add to the goosebumps they had to experience when looking up at the sky. The facts, such as...
Our Sun is a part of a huge galaxy called the Milky Way Galaxy, made up of a hundred billion stars. We have a hundred billion that is 100,000,000,000, and, of course, your jaw drops.
••••• The Milky way is just one of the many billions of galaxies, each of which also has billions of stars. In fact, the Milky Way and is one of the smallest galaxies.
••••• If you want to cross the Milky Way Galaxy, and it would take you 100,000 years. You would have to travel five billion, eight hundred million miles per year to get out of the way; it is fast. But you're not going to come out on top.
Scientists estimate that the Milky way is a 13.51-billion-year-old.
These fun facts will lead to a long and lively discussion about
(a) The origins of the universe.
(b) The possibility of space travel.
(c) Life on other planets.
You can challenge the children to find out if every star in the Milky Way Galaxy supported the nine planets, and only one of them had to move as the Earth, which is the probability that only one of them has to die? I think there is some real fear in the execution of these songs.
A similar argument can be fun, exciting, and full of questions. Don't be too hasty to get to the exit of the imagination because it is the birth of a life-long love of astronomy that they have. And if there is, at the very first moment, when she saw that the night sky, you'll have a great time when you were a kid. And you can rekindle your interest in astronomy.
