I became more interested in astronomy when i found out what the astronomical distances actually were , and the sizes of the stars ...And we can see those stars at those distances ...Some of those stars might not even be there anymore but the light is just now getting to us ..Wow ...Oh yea ..First scope was a 70mm refractor..
