What hooked me into astronomy?
My dad bought a telescope for my mom. She almost never had the opportunity to use it...

Forty plus years ago there were two bright
satellites you could read your newspaper by. Well almost! I would look up predictions in the Daily Telegraph for the times of transit overhead. Echo 1 and Echo 2. And the sky was dark at night even in an urban area.

I got some children's science books when I was four, and one of them contained a very large poster that had the different sizes and classes of stars. Betelguese was the largest known, back then, and absolutely fascinated me.
