A Night Under the Stars






Tonight was really cool! My Cousin Patricia has a friend who is a Astronomer and he brought out the big telescope and set it up at the park for my kids. We were able to see Jupiter and 6 of its moons. We saw Venus and Galaxy's and he split stars so that we could see them. It was a night of learning and fun. Jacob was hung on his every word. We even got to see when a star dies out the ring of "dust" that it leaves behind. It was a beautiful sight to see. He showed us open and closed star clusters that look so beautiful I thought that's what the entrance to Heaven must look like!
