      That’s a good question! I once went to an Observatory in America, and because we were on top of a mountain and so far away from any city you could see all the stars in the sky and it’s incredible! I’ve also looked at most of the planets through a telescope

    While being at telescopes some of the most interesting things I saw included a rotating asteroid which we tracked, comets where we could see water evaporating, and also pointing a huge telescope at Jupiter and seeing the transit of one of their moons. Also getting to discover new galaxies and trying to measure their distance. It’s amazing when you look at the image and then it’s there!
