I went walking with my family on a trail in the park. We had to hurry because It was getting close to being dark. We wound through the woods, looking low and looking high, until we found the ideal spot to gaze at the sky. The night was calm and clear – great for looking at the starts. With help from our telescope, maybe we would see Mars. I sat down next to Dad and put the telescope in place. We soon began to count the starts, but it turned into a race. I counted to one hundred and decided to stop there. My brother can count higher, so it became a bit unfair. The stars were shining brightly like lights across the sky. "It is so beautiful," Dad said "it almost makes me cry." There are pictures in the stars, and I can name a few. I can see the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper too. To peer up in the darkness and see the sky at night made me never want to leave. It was such a beautiful sight. Question Read the poem. Why is this a good time for the family to use the telescope?
