Driving back from Bondi Junction tonight I noticed the conjunction of Venus and the moon. Before I could say anything, my 18-month-old daughter pipes up excitedly from the back "Moon and star!". I was so chuffed.

Wonderful. I stuck luminous stars on the ceiling of my 16 month old son's bedroom (wonky Orion, but pretty good Scorpius and Crux). He's been recognising them the past six months, and points to them every night. We go out for our ten minutes every evening and look at the real stuff too. Amazing how quickly they get it.
Lukas: (4 year old son) Hey Dad, do you know, saturn has rings, and Mars is the red planet............. Saturn was put there by a really gynormas man and he painted mars aswell!!!!
Dad: Yeah sort of...... (when did you tell him that saturn had rings)
