Space Toys
As children it's natural to dream of space. In all honesty, I still do it now at the age of 31. There's something so intriguing about the unknown. Sure, it's easy to gaze up into the night sky on any clear evening, but all we spot with the naked eye are stars, the moon and maybe a few constellations. What about all the rest? I want to see the 8 other planets, galaxies, milky ways, meteors, and the gases that circle Saturn. Unfortunately we'll never have the ability to spy such beauties with the naked eye. But that doesn't mean we can't know what they look like and how they're constructed. Tons of photos from far-off satellites have filled us in on this. This is in turn how modern space toys and astronomy models are created. We humans sure like to replicate things.
I never had any space toys as a child. I simply did what most small children do, and gawked at the dark sky in wonder. Where I grew up, you could easily see oodles of bright stars on a clear night. This always made me prefer the night to day. The only star you see during the light hours is the sun. What a rip-off!
Anyway, my father was relentlessly pointing out constellations to me. Many of which I could not make-out. Oh well. I believed him regardless. Nowadays I do things a bit differently with my daughter. She adores astronomy and anything relating to the planetarium. Aside from the countless space toys she accumulated since birth, we take advantage of our high-tech telescope on clear nights. It's a blast gazing up at the stars and explaining things to your child. And with the advanced telescopes on the market today, you can see plenty from down here on earth. These babies are nothing like the ones that existed when I was little. Naturally they can get pretty pricey. I assume that's why my wife calls them adult space toys.
Take an interest in what lies beyond this great planet. I truly believe that once people begin to learn more about astronomy and space, they crave more facts and photos. I was this way. So invest in a few adult space toys, and share the wonders of astronomy with your children and loved ones. There's a whole other world out there.
