Hey!
I just wanted to let everyone know about Magnificent Desoltion:Walking on the Moon, a new Space DVD from HBO Video. Kids and Adults will experience one of the greatest accomplishments in human history with this DVD that includes accounts from Astronauts, Exclusive NASA Footage and an Interactive Bonus Feature that focuses on the Apollo missions! This DVD will surely make a great gift for children and adults this holiday season…so look out for this! Out on November 6th!

Great list, Tony! Even though I do know the difference between astrology and astronomy, I will never forget the first time I ever saw the Southern Cross – one of my first days living in Chile. It really did signify a different set of stars that guided my life for the next few years.

I don’t think I’ve ever been able to find the North Star…or even if I can… at first I heard/thought it was the brightest, but then I heard somewhere it wasn’t…?

You should have added something about Star Trek being real and that TV is the governments way of breaking it to us.

My kids says the life Cycle of a star is egg, larva, then adult…

Hmm, can you replace #1 with “how to find the North Star and/or the Southern Cross”? Not everyone *can* find the North Star, you see…
