My first memory of an astronomical event was the total solar eclipse of 1976. I was six and remember my gradfather telling me why it went dark during the day. That was cool!
I also remember cutting out all the newspaper articles of the space shuttle Columbia that first launched in '81. Later '86 was Halley's Comet - saw that as a fuzzy ball from our front yard.
From there I really got into astronomy!
