As we were about to go back, I pointed at some stars and announced that they seemed important. I'd located this, with my naked eye. Indicative not of any scientific skillz beyond a sense of what "important" might look like in this context, but of noteworthy eyesight. The others could only see it with a telescope.
I took an Astrophysics course at Princeton before I realized how much calculation there would be. The best part was looking through the observatory telescope and seeing Saturn and its rings. Like a jewel. JM
