outer space

When I was a child I thought that if I climbed the mountain I could touch the moon and get to it because I saw it right above the mountain

I used to think that the moon and stars were holes in the sky that you could see heaven through.

I used to think the sun and the moon were the same thing. When it changed back and forth, that was what caused daytime and nighttime.

I used to think that when I went outside at night with a flashlight and pointed it at the sky, that I was "making" a new star. And that for every time I turned the flashlight off and on while pointing at the sky I was making more and more stars.

When I was about 4 years old, I believed that I had never actually seen a real star and I thought the sky were just "dots"

I used to believe that the sky was another dimension and if you jumped high enough you would fall up forever. I also that since the moon was in the day as well it would have life and at night everything died.

I had a huge discussion in 2nd grade standing at the globe. The other person said we live on the outside of the globe. Duh- we live on the inside! Besides if we lived on the outside how would we not just fall off into space?!!

My mind was blown when I found out that we live on a giant ROUND planet. Like many people, I used to think the world was flat, because that is how it looks. (It's obviously an illusion caused by how small we are, compared to the planet.)

When I was about 5, my brother told me that clouds didn't move. They just looked like they were moving because the Earth was rotating.

I used to think that those jets that leave lines in the sky were actually rockets going to space. when they were flying "down", I assumed they were crashing. I was always worried that one was going to crash into our house.

I used to believe that the dark spots on the moon were astronauts walking around. I would sit on my front porch every night and talk to them, and I would wave and say hello :)

I used to believe that the earth was like a board game for giants and that every action was controlled by them from a raindrop to an earthquake..
