I remember my Grandfather explaining about the solar eclipse we witnessed (safely) as a young boy in the early 70's (Melbourne).
He was so excited and it certainly pricked my interest.
I have also been gob smacked by the scale of the ss and universe for as long as I remember.
My wife purchased my first real telescope about 16 years ago after listening to my enthusiasm for what is up there (interesting to note I had never thought of owning a scope until she got it for me).
My pasion keeps growing and my main interest is now the Sun and the unmanned solar system exploration.
