The Night Sky when we see

No matter how far away you are in your sophistication, there is always a basic moment that we all go back to. That was the first moment we went out where you could really see the universe better, and you took in the night sky. For the townspeople, this is a profound revelation, as we have found aliens living among us. Most of us have a laid back attitude when it comes to painting a picture about a night sky. Of course, we all love the sophisticated experience of studying the sky using binoculars and different shapes and telescopes. But I bet you may remember as a child that for the first time you saw a clear night sky fully exposed with exposure to all the amazing constellations, meters and comets revolving and counting the dots of light far away to count. The best way to recapture that moment is to go out of the country with your own child or someone who has not experienced it and be there for the moment when they see and say that very powerful word. Only one who can sum up the feelings of looking at that magnificent sky. That's the word - "wow". Perhaps the most unprecedented fact about what that child is looking at is that the hardest thing for them to understand is the sheer vastness of what is above them and what it represents. In fact, almost every point in the sky is another star or celestial body that is much larger than the Earth itself, not by two or ten times but by hundreds and thousands of factors, which can be mind-blowing. The children Kids have enough trouble imagining the shape of the earth, much less in a large scope like outer space. But when it comes to astronomy, we do better when we look deeper and deeper into the night sky. Some amazing facts about what kids are looking at can add goose bumps as they already look up at the sky. Like facts * Our Sun is part of a giant galaxy called the Milky Way, which contains 100 billion stars or larger. Show them that one hundred billion is 100,000,000,000, and you will definitely leave some dangers. * Milky Way is just one of billions of galaxies, each containing billions of stars. In fact, the Milky Way is one of the smallest galaxies. * If you want to cross the Milky Way, it will take you 100,000 years. But you can't get there in the driving speed limit. To cross that fast, you have to drive five trillion, 800 million miles per year. * Scientists calculate that the Milky Way is 14 billion years old. These little interesting facts should be a good and exciting discussion about the origin of the universe and the possibility of space travel or if there is life on other planets. If each of the stars in the Milky Way supported nine planets and only one of them was habitable, like Earth, could you challenge the children to have life on one of them? I think you will see some real excitement when they try to run those numbers. Such discussions can be fun, exciting, and full of questions. Do not rush to stop their imagination because it is the birth of the lifelong love of astronomy they are experiencing. And if you were there the first time they saw the night sky, you would relive your great moment when you were a child. And it can set you up again with a whole new enthusiasm for astronomy.
