I love astronomy and during several instances, I have observed the stars. Here I would like to explain the scenario when I looked at the starts.
When it was?
It happened when I visited the holy city Amritsar with my friends a month ago.
Where and with whom?
We all were at the Golden Temple sitting on the perimeter.
What did you observe?
First of all, when we looked at the stars, we were looking at the light that came from the star. Moreover, we observed that because the stars are so far away, therefore it takes years for their light to reach us. As a result, when we look at a star, people are seeing what it looked like years ago.
Moreover, we saw the beautiful coma star cluster that belongs to the tail of the constellation Leo, the lion. It's a group of 50 or more stars located about 300 light-years distant. Though it is tough under light pollution, it was visible at that time owing to full dark.
How did you feel?
That moment was full of energy and rejuvenation since it instilled a sensation of positivity in me. Gazing at the stars made us so nice at that time because we were filled with altruistic and helpful behaviour.
Finally, staring at the sky restored hope, and we were connected to nature.

Q1. Why do people like to study the sky?
People like to study the sky to notice the weather changes; some see it as an inspiration for arts like painting, photography, etc. It is also important to study about sky and space to understand that we are a part of a huge universe, which ignites our curiosity about what’s beyond the sky. Some people study it, as they believe that planetary movements affect a person’s fate.

Follow cue card. The Martian
Q3. Do you think children should be told planet stories to improve their image?
Yes, definitely. Children must be told stories about other planets. It most certainly helps improve their creativity and imagination, because of the curiosity it creates in their minds. Some children also end up taking it up as a career path, e.g. astronauts, space research scientists and rocket engineers.
Q4. Would children be benefited from watching stars?
Yes, children would be benefitted from watching stars. They become curious about the universe and outer space, which help increase their creativity and also, might help them choose it as a career path in the future.
Q5. Would you like to watch movies on planets?
Yes. The Martian is my favourite movie associated with planets.
Q6. Did you like to watch the sky when you were young?
Yes, I liked to watch the sky when I was young. I remember that during summer vacations, we used to visit our farmhouse and we used to sleep outside, in the open. At that time I did not know anything about constellations, but we used to find the night sky with the twinkling stars very fascinating and beautiful.
