Abstract

[While stargazing can be a rewarding activity on a strictly personal basis and enjoyed alone, it is in sharing your observations with other people (and organizations, if you’re so inclined) that its pursuit realizes its full value. As the old English proverb states: “A joy that’s shared is a joy made double.” At its simplest level, letting family, friends, neighbors, beginning stargazers—and even total strangers passing by—see celestial wonders through your telescope will not only bring delight to them, but also immense satisfaction to yourself. Just watch the astonishment on their face as they stare at the Moon’s alien landscape or the magnificent ice-rings of Saturn or the heavenly hues of a double star like Albireo. Perhaps it will be you who first opens up a totally unexpected and awesome new universe to them!]
