I used to think than when it got slightly darker because the sun was hidden by clouds it was actually because the sun was on the other side of the planet and that once it got bright again it had come back.

I remember when I was little that Peter Pan was my faviorite story, and that I would spend almost every night looking up at the sky looking for the star that was Neverland. It occured to me latter that "second star to the right" wasn't very helpful, but I really thought I found it a few times.

i used to believe that the moon was the sun flipped over!!

When I was in preschool, I believed in the man in the moon, which was on what would've been the first ever Wiggles CD, I think (it wasn't actually a song, it was a recording of one of the guys from the Wiggles talking about the man in the moon). I can still remember the bit where he says "The man in the moon has no hair!" which was the bit that my brother and I always laughed at. I believed that when it was night time, the man in the moon would have his light on, which was the reason why the moon glowed.

I used to believe that the sun and the moon were back to back and they turned around slowly at the appropriate time (thats why there was a sunrise and sunset)

I used to believe that one night, gravity would go away and everyone would float into outer space.

I also believed that if a comet hit us, the same would happen.

I used to believe that the sky was a blue 'roof' on top of the world and that all you had to do was fly high enough and you could touch it.

I didn't think too hard about what happened at night, tho.

When I was about 5, I convinced myself that when I looked up at the sky, I could see the world turning. I think my mother burst my bubble by telling me that what I was seeing was the clouds moving across the sky.

I used to believe that the sun and the moon were the same thing...just different colors

When I was a child, I believed that the sun turned into the moon at night and that the moon became the sun during the day.

When I was little and there was a full moon clearly visible, that the shaddows on the moon represented a lady and gentleman sitting having a meal at the dinner table.I thought that the taller person on the left looked like a king with a crown on his head and the shorter person on the right also wearing a crown, must be the queen. Even now when I see a full moon i still can see what I imagined as a child. I guess now that fairy tales and food must have featured largely in my life. They still do, as I like happy endings and a full stomach.

I thought that the Great Bear constellation was only visible from our town, and that was the reason why the symbol of our town was a saucepan. Actually, it was to do with the local tin plate industry, ... not quite as romantic !

Steve

I never figured out that the moon rose and set like the sun until I was about 24 years old. I thought that when the sun went down, we could see the moon only because it was one of the brightest things in the sky. I remember looking up at the night sky several times one night and being really shaken that the moon kept moving.

i used to believe that the sky was the floor of heaven and it had holes in it. At night, heaven would switch its lights on and they would shine thru the holes and we would see stars...
Not really sure when that ended.

I used to belive neil Armstrong jumped onto the moon and everyone saw him cause of course he was half a big as it!

I looked at the moon ever since and pictured an astronaught half as big as the moon standing on it with an american flag!

I also belived (like many people) that the moon followed me while in the car at night.

When I was a kid, I asked my mom can I get to the Moon. She said no, that's very, very far away. Then I asked : "What if I put one chair on another?" Standing on 1 chair was a pretty good height for me. And standing on 2 of them.. :)

Ewa

I used to think that up in outer space the sun was a gigantic baby that never grew up like in Teletubbies.

WeirdButProud

When I was three or four, I remember believing that people lived on the moon. Not just some people, but all people. Including myself and my family...everyone.

I would gaze up at the moon in the night sky often, and wonder how such a clear reflection could show up there. It wasn't until I finally asked my parents that I learned we lived on planet earth.

I have no clue why I thought that we lived on the moon...

Melissa

I used to believe that the sun was an oversized colour changing M&M.

i used to believe that stars were people in heaven and the moon was god
