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.
I guess this ties in with the picture Julia drew last week at my house of the solar system, with the key on the back so Grammie could understand what the drawing was! That's our girl! I used to feel that way about some of the things you said and did as a child. Can we credit it to good genes?
