One of the unexpected perks to joining an astronomy club is being stumped by a 6 year old when she ask why a blue star is hotter than the yellow after viewing Alberio, or when an adult, upon looking at Jupiter, ask if it was Io where they found volcanos, and I can't remember the correct answer. Doing the public sessions for the museum, local nature society, etc., has been the most rewarding part of joining our local astronomy society. It is fun, and I've found that showing people the stars fails to disappointed often leading to some very interesting conversations.

Not only is Astronomy incredible fascinating, it's even more fun to share.
