outer space

My grandmother had a swimming pool. She told me that if we went swimming at night, and it was a full moon, we could get a moon tan. I asked her if that were true, why didn't they sell moonscreen?

RETRO KID

i used to believe, very far below, right at the bottom of space there were huge treasure trunks full of giant rubies and pearls and fairies and giants guarded them.it was all really pretty

hello

I thought that the moon wasn't cheese, but quite possibly a cookie. I got this belief from watching Rugrats, where in a certain episode, the babies imagined themselves as dinosaurs and wanted to eat the moon, since it WAS a cookie. The way they showed it, the moon looked kinda tasty.

mmm... TASTY!!!

I believed that the sun sets and rise again as a moon until it was studied in my first Science class.

i used to think we were inside the earth then i thought how do rockets lift off and we cant be on the other side or we will float away then my mom told me the we are on the outside

I remember when when I thought that the clouds turned over to make it night outside and the sun turned off, and that was the moon

When I was young, I used to believe that we lived "inside" the globe and what we on maps are actually what the clouds form in the sky. Then one day, mom told me we lived "on" earth. I was scared as hell, and avoided going out of my home at night because I feared I'd fall off the surface!

When I looked at the globe, I used to believe for a long time that the world (and us) was actually inside the giant blue sphere and the blue sphere was the blue sky.

i used to believe that if a star fell from the sky, the earth would go up to take its place.

When i was about 5 or 6 i thought that all the atmosphere was held down by the ozone layer. i always worried about spaceships popping it or the shock wave from an atomic bomb letting air out.

I used to believe that the planet Earth just like other planets is far way from us in the sky where we see stars and we live on a place with a ground and trees and everything else

I often read these stupid fact books that made me believe the solar system was in a line but why would I think that
