No matter how far you go in your sophistication as an amateur astronomer,
there is always a fundamental moment to which we all return. This is the first time we went out where you could really see the universe, and you took the night sky. For city dwellers, this is as profound a revelation as the discovery of strangers among us. Most of us have no idea of the vast panorama of lights that can be seen in the clear night sky, while the lack of city lights makes it difficult to see this scene.
Of course, we all like the experience of studying the sky using binoculars and the powers of binoculars of different sizes and telescopes. But I bet you can remember as a child the first time you saw a perfectly clear night sky moving with all the remarkable constellations, meters and comets and the exposure of the dots of light. Saw that could never be counted.
The best way to recapture this moment of wonder is to go out of the country with your child or someone who has never had this experience and is there when they look up, and they are powerful. Say the word, Only one who can sum up their feelings by looking at this wonderful sky. That's the word wow.
Can Children. Children have a hard time figuring out the size of the Earth itself, much less in a vast sphere like outer space.
But when it comes to astronomy, we do better when we fall into the deepest and deepest levels of fear over what we see in the sky. Some incredible facts about what children are seeing can add to the pieces of laughter that their eyes are already looking up at the sky. Facts like …
* Our Sun is part of a giant galaxy called the Milky Way, which consists of one hundred billion stars. Show them that one hundred billion is 100,000,000,000, and you will definitely see some jaw dropping.
Milky Way is just one of tens of billions of galaxies, each with 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 by speeding. To travel that fast, you have to travel five trillion, eight hundred million miles a year.
* Scientists estimate that the Milky Way is 14 billion years old.
Such a discussion can be entertaining, interesting and full of questions. Don't be rushing to shut down their imagination because it is the birth of the lifelong love of astronomy that they are experiencing. And if you were there the first time they saw the night sky, you would re-experience that great moment of yours when you were a child. And it's about the astronomy within you.
