I see rings

Rings around Saturn.

It's quite one thing to grow up loving science, learning all kinds of details of the planets. It's even better to be able to share this love with your children, better yet, see their faces light up in awe and wonder and amazement and pure joy as they realize that that there is more out there than just us, than just our Big Blue Marble, and that even in such a simple way, we can touch it.

However, I must say, nothing compares to actually seeing a planet through a telescope. I'm in awe.

I'm also quite shocked that when I tried to wake my son up to share the view with him, he just turned the other way and said "Mom, I'm sleepy". Oh, he's going to be very upset when I tell him tomorrow morning.

What a coincidence. I just took a quiz on Pandora's blog that shows what planet you are and according to the quiz, I am saturn. Hahaha!

I think you better take that quiz too. :D
