You've been posting in TWO threads? At the same time? ???
So does that mean you have a new computer now? Two of them?

;D ;D ;D
guessed yet??
it is a
telescope!!!
I am so excited! I have been looking at the NASA website and now I have my own telescope. I had a little bitty $20 one from Kmart when I was a little girl and loved it. I am SOOOOOO excited and can't wait to try it out!
and just my luck it is CLOUDY tonight. >:( >:(
David In Indy:
Oh, I LOVE telescopes! :D
Can you post a picture of it so we can see what it looks like?
I almost bought a telescope a few years back. But I decided against it because I have too many trees in my yard. And the lights from downtown Indianapolis would interfere with it and prevent any decent viewing. >:(
They sell those computerized ones now. You can punch in what you'd like to see and the telescope will find it for you. If I ever do buy one, I'll get the kind that has a camera mount on it so I can take pictures. I'd love to photograph the rings of Saturn or the craters of the moon. :)
Congratulations Jess! I'm as jealous as HELL! And you live way out in the country so the stars and moon should come in nice and clear for you. :D

I once had a little red plastic telescope when I was a kid, Jess. I loved it. It wasn't very powerful but I was only 7 or 8 at the time and I had a lot of fun with it. My neighbors had a great big telescope. I remember when the astronauts went to the moon for the first time, and everyone in the neighborhood was standing out in their driveways gazing at the moon with their telescopes. I went over to the neighbor's house, their family name was De Kline, and they let me look through the telescope. I remember I was trying to see the rocket as it sped towards the moon. I was certain I could see it, and I was really disappointed when I couldn't do it. In fact that is one of the first memories that pops into my mind whenever they talk about the first moon launch - standing there in the De Kline's driveway looking through that telescope and trying to see the astronauts through it. :laugh:
