I finally went to the planetarium again yesterday. I last visited the planetarium when I was 12 and was just as excited about going in as I was that day!
S and I walked around and read all those charts like good children and then I insisted we take a print-out of our weights in different planets which S vehemently refused. Then we waited in a long line till we could go in to the auditorium. I was expecting a dank, dingy place but the auditorium took me by surprise. It looked quite comfortable and state of the art.
We settled in our seats and complained for a few minutes about the army of noisy kids who sat next to us but when the lights went off and the starry sky was seen, we were stunned into silence.
I cannot even describe how absolutely brilliant it was to just lie back and see that sky. The show we saw was titled 'Celestial Fireworks' so we got to see shooting stars, meteors and asteroids. I must admit, I stopped paying attention to the commentary after a while and was too lost in the beauty of the sky. I sheepishly admitted this fact to S after the show only to find out he had done the same himself.
For that 30 minutes, we both were just a couple of 10 year olds again, fervently whispering 'Look at that' and 'That was awesome!'
Go find the closest planetarium today.
