At age 9, I checked my first astronomy book out of the public library - Stars, by Herbert S. Zim. That text and those charts of the heavens opened up the universe for me. I recently gave a copy of it to my granddaughter, who already has shown an interest in things celestial.

My Dad bought me my first telescope when I was 13. It was a Jason Constellation 280 Refractor... I went out on every clear night that I could to just see what I could see. I was hooked from the moment I opened that box. ☄

2nd grade field trip. It was amazing. Back then the beach was still there with the airport next door. Great place to lunch after visiting The Adler. Stars and planes, great combination for kids.

points to anyone who can explain what is happening to the peep as it ascends
and descends.
