Can I See Uranus?

[lilac_bearry]

I saw Saturn through a telescope last night. With the rings and everything! And a couple of the moons as well. It was part of a star show that the local planetarium put on at our school. They said that you never forget the first time you see Saturn for yourself through an actual telescope, and man, it did not disappoint. Wow

I do remember the first time I saw Saturn through a telescope! It was many years ago but it was so cool. Like a tiny bauble suspended in space!

If you were interested in the stellar identity of Regulus, you might enjoy this.

Hey brainiac, thanks for that! That was very interesting and enlightening, and I can put it all into context with all that stargazing I just did! :D

Hey you--thanks for friending me!

Your comment "You never forget the first time you see Saturn for yourself through an actual telescope..." made me smile. I wonder what they said 100 years ago? ("You never forget your first ride in a Horseless Carriage...")

Or what they'll be saying 100 years from now? ("You never forget the first time you walk on the moon...")
