One of the selling points for this resort was that they had a star gazing class on Friday night. Imagine that, we had to drive over 1000 miles to look a the stars without the glow of the city lights. But it was worth it.
Our instructor had the coolest laser pointer too! When he pointed out the stars we were all amazed at its point-ability than the stars he was able to identify that. "I have the capability of showing you different stars in the universe and all you guys want to see is my pointer." Well, it was cool.
The show-stopper...I get chills just thinking about it again. He had a pretty kick-ass telescope and once he had the final coordinates adjusted we were able to view Saturn (yes--the big ringed monster in our solar system) and it's rings!!! Eeeeeeee! It was amazing! And...(yes there's more) we could see two of it's moons.
A truly out of this world experience!
