• Question: We went to the Blackrock observatory and hooked up with the hubble telescope. It was very interesting but seemed like difficult science. Did you have a telescope when you were a boy?

      I had binoculars which are great for astronomy but what I really needed was someone to show me the stars. What I mean is, it’s hard to learn the constellations just from a book it really helps to have some to show you them.

      These days that’s much easier with iPhone apps and so on.
