Dad just pulled out the telescope. We saw Jupiter and our moon.
It's just so incredible... I could see the bands on Jupiter. It was this little white ball, with tiny orange stripes. Tiny stripes. And there were four little white dots next to it, and if I zoomed in, way in, I could see a tiny black dot on Jupiter.
And the Moon... It was rough. I could see the shadows being cast on the very edges.
This is so far away... While Dad started adjusting so we could get the Moon, I just started walking east... walking towards Jupiter, and then I got on a rung on one of our wooden fences. I reached out, stretched... trying to grab the tiny little dot that was the second biggest object in out solar system. It was so far away... so beautiful. I want to go there... Just travel between the stars, and see everything...
... I want to go...
That's incredible :]
Brings Jupiter over.
Go be an astronaut. Go discover life on Europa. GOGOGOGO!
