Very young astronomer

[MortonH]

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.

The kid's writing her PhD thesis, do you want her to put us all to shame??!!

So, what's her first scope to be- a 20" SDM or 16" SCT?

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.
