Someone asked the great question about whether or not we believed in things we had not seen.
It reminded me that I had something wonderful Saturday night. Even though I've been to several planetariums it seems like all my visits always were plagued by cloudy skies. A friend brought his telescope to our weekly social distancing on my deck and I got to see the craters and lava fields on the moon and the rings on Saturn. I always believed in the craters and the rings but it was really cool getting to see them.

Well you can’t see a fart but you still believe in it.

I have visited spots outside the city (light pollution) where the MN Astronomical Society volunteers have several telescopes of various sizes. Driven by laptops, they can be pointed at a wide variety of celestial objects near-and-far. πŸ™‚

Fun. Check out the perseids meteors tonight and tomorrow. The answer to that question is yes you can believe in things you haven't seen if someone else has seen them and it's proven.
