I saw a bit of "the sidewalk astronomer" this morning. I was surprised by how many people had their minds blown, looking at the moon. Surprised, in that it isn't something that is largely encouraged in any curriculum, or in society in general, yet it doesn't fail to incite wonder. I think it'd make a marked difference in child development in many cases. There isn't a lot of "magic" for young people once they've outgrown the standard sources and it'd be nice (and perhaps good for society) to reassure kids and teenagers that there are truly amazing things out there within reach.
