Astronomy

Ok, so, i went town with my friend and went into this shop and whilst she bought some stuff i found a small book on Astronomy. I've always been interested in it and i love camping and sitting out under the stars. Me and a friend usually sit outside at night, when camping, and watch the sky, waiting for something to happen. well one night something did, we where sitter there, and just starring up at the night sky, just chatting about how amazing it is and how small we felt, then this realy bright shootin star shot right across the sky. it was visible long enough for us to sit up and gasp at the exact same time XD, we sat there, starrin in absalute unbelief untill somthing in us finally snapped and we just looked at each other and jumped up and ran to my caravan, where the perents where, and ran to my friends dad (hid dad knows quite a bit about stars and stuff) and startin ranting on about it, i dont think any one could understand us Any hoo, i was so amazing.

So, ever since i got this book, i cant seem to put it down and i cant seem to stop thinking about it. I realy realy realy want to see a comet and a meteor shower and the book tells me when they occur. last time there was a metoer shower (or last time i remeber one happening) was last year and i was in the most perfect place to watch it, far from lights in the middle of a field, the people who owbed the caravan site had turned all the lights off so that and everyone else could watch it...but alas...i fell asleep, completely oblivious it was happening untill the next day when people told us. ARRRRRG, i was (and sill am) so pissed off i missed it. i also missed a lunar eclips that i could of seen from my flippin bedroom window. DAM YOU SCHOOL!. if i had one wish right now, it would be to go into space, maybe visit the ISS (international space station) and go to the moon. I dream of being able see to earth from the moon, lookin at my home planet as if IT was the moon i also want a telescope, (i wonder if my perents would let me buy one?)

of and ps. if you have had any experienses like comets, eclipses, shooting stars ect, please feel free to shar them ^^ or just anything spacy you wanna share
