Tonight Julia and I went to our local arboretum for part of the 100 Hours of Astronomy global astronomy event taking place all over the world this weekend. A local club had set up half-a-dozen or so telescopes, and we looked at the moon, Saturn, and the Orion nebula — not quite like the above photo, but still fascinating.
Julia gave me a very animated lecture, as we waited in the lines, about the planets (in order) and how many moons each one has. I can see I'll have to stay on my toes with this first-grader.
