Just had the same thing here but on a smaller scale. One of the ladies I work with has a son in year 1 and they are doing the Solar System and constellations. I gave him a BBC Sky at Night calendar for show and tell and printed out pictures, for show and tell, off the internet of constellations he can see from here the Southern Cross etc. He went out that night and identified the constellations and also Jupiter and 3 of its moons, he borrowed Poppies binoculars now he wants Mum to buy him a pair for his birthday and he wants Mum to wake him up at 5am to see Orion and Plaides. Mum says "No way".
Another budding Astronomer.
