When I was in junior high, all I wanted for Christmas was a telescope. My parents delivered and my dad and I really enjoyed stargazing together. We got guidebooks, looked up information on websites, and learned how to dial in the telescope together. My most vivid memory was viewing Jupiter on New Year’s Eve because that was when it would be closest to Earth for the whole year. So dad and I stood on our back porch freezing so we could get a fantastic look at Jupiter. We could see the giant spot and three moons!
