An amateur star-gazer was enthusiastically giving his educational “speil” for a long line of folks when we arrived at 9pm and still at it when we left our movie at midnight. He inspired so much curiosity, awe, and interaction among strangers just by providing something to gather around. Again I was reminded of how contagious it can be when people share their passion just for the joy of it. Also, of how gorgeous our moon is. Wowza!
