outer space

I used to believe the stars were my family.
I was a little girl and with my family walked outside in the evening. My mother say "The stars are our decease loved one who watch over us from the sky" but now I don't really believe it anymore but i think about it ,from time to time.

When I was small, perhaps 4 or 5, I found an atlas with a fold-out picture of the solar system. I showed the Sun and the planets spaced about it, the asteroid belt between the Mars and the outer solar system, and so on.

I could not conceive how these things would be floating around out there, so I reasoned, since things fall on Earth, they must be falling out there too. Only they had to fall all at the same rate to stick together and still be a solar system. What they were falling toward I never defined.

I also thought there must have been balls of gravity to which the dust from interstellar space stuck to form the planets...in the same way lint sticks to tape when your mother dresses you up in uncomfortable clothes to go to a wedding and you played with the dog and now Mom has to get tape and take all the dog hair off your nice clothes.

I also remember being amazed to learn the Germans used the same numbers we do. Sneaky bunch, stealing our numbers.

I use to believe that the earth was one huge round rock which was in space and where I was standing was a rock reflecting that rock which is earth.

I used to like Neopets when I was 11 until I was around 14, and I believed that the brightest star in the sky at night was Neopia. Now I know it's Venus...I always knew it was Venus until that short time I thought it was Neopia.

Neopets is too time-consuming now ]:(

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.

Over 20 years ago (it is presently 2009) I felt sure that one day Pluto would be declared to be not a true planet (No kidding!).

I used to believe there were seven universes, arranged in concentric circles. The middle (first) one was yellow, and the next was white. We live in the third. Then there was another called the Outer Outer White, which contained the planet where my imaginary dinosaur friends lived. Then a green one and a yellow one, and finally another black one like ours but much, much bigger.
In about third grade I got in an argument with a classmate about this. He said that there were thousands of universes. When I went home and asked my mom, she said we're both wrong, there is only one universe, that's where the "uni" part comes from.

I used to believe there were some body lived in the moon.

Up until I was about 12 I thought why it becomes night time is because of the moon blocking the sun (obviously that would really be a solar eclipse)

Nate

I used to believe that my parents were aliens, for I once saw them like green coloured and with tentacles :(

Anon

I used to belive that the northern lights were angles dancing across the sky and that if you laid on your back in a open feild and whistled up at them they would come down and pick you up. To this day i still belive that.

I used to believe that astronauts have landed on other planets.

There are another world opposite the clouds and there may be creatures like human beings live.

I thought the full moon looked like a cookie, so I always called it the cookie moon.
