When i was a child my parents told me that earth is spinning around itself.I was confused, why cant we notice that if it spinns?Then one day i was playing one game where i spinn around like 15 times, and i got dizzy, everything around me started spinning, i was thrilled to find out my secret way to see that earth is really spinning.Silly me!!Now you know it too!!! ;)

I used to believe that the stars are actually star-shaped (like a pentagram or the star of david), and they only seemed dotlike since they are so far away.

I believed that when a star twinkled it was Jesus winking at me.

When I was a child I believed that the atmosphere was really a dome with a handle on it that could be lifted off at any moment. I would lie on the grass, look up into the sky, and wonder if God would see me looking up at him when he lifted the dome off the Earth.

My daughter (who is currently 5) believes that when the moon is in anything other than in it's full stage that someone broke the moon

When I was a child I used to believe that stars were holes in the sky & we could see heaven shining through

my family and I were vacationing at the beach, and we were fishing pretty late into the day. I remember looking up and asking my mom how they got all those streetlights into the sky (stars).

When I was little I believed that every night my Grandpa would get out a ladder and hang the moon. There was a moon mobile in a mall near my house and I thought he put that up too, but not everyday.

When I was little my oldest brother told me that if you whistled at the Northern Light they would come down and take you away.

From a very young age I believed that people 'worked' in stars.
I imagined a box, with windows and peddals to make it move about, with a man working inside.
This belief spawned from a picture book I used to have.

When I was young I used to believe that looking up at the moon will end up with the moon flying down to chop off my ears. That was what my parents & Gramma said to get me to fall asleep faster at night rather than wathing the beautiful moon through the window.

I used to think, every time I saw the moon, that the sun was behind it and shining around and through it. I only realised when I was about 13 that if the sun was behind the moon the other half of the world wouldn't have any day time!

Willow

I was shocked in 1st grade when they told me there was no face on the moon. I hate to say this, guys, I still see it. I used to believe this was because the moon was a person.

when i was young i thought that a giant made the world slowly spin!

When I was younger I used to believe that spinning a globe is what caused the earth to spin. I was always very cautious not to let myself of anyone make it spin too fast- otherwise we'd all get dizzy and maybe fall off. I guess I had a lot of faith that no one else was spinning their globe too fast either!

I used to think that the moon had someone inside it, driving it. It's how I explained the fact that the moon moved along with the car as we drove.

When i was litttle i used to believe that if a had a long enough ladder a could touch the sky.

I was born in 1967 and my Dad worked on the Saturn V so I remember hearing all about how man landed on the moon. For many years, when people would talk about seeing the "man in the moon" I would look really hard to see his silouette sticking off the side!
