Participated in a Schools Night last night at a near inner-city Brisbane school. The observing field was a light pollution nightmare bounded by two main roads chockers with the evening traffic and two floodlit tennis courts. Never the less, with our four telescopes we showed the 60 fifth graders and 50 adults and siblings the Moon, the Jewell Box, Alberio and Saturn.
You just know when they have seen it - the "Wows" say it all, and how good does it make you feel. But one Dad said to me, "You astronomers have an interesting job". Well it was time for me to think, "Wow".
Cheers to all us all, fellow ASTRONOMERS.
