When I was eight, I got a book about stars. That was the beginning of my lifetime hobby.
I used to go outside with my mum on clean nights and look at the sky. It looked like black velvet with a million diamonds on it. In different seasons, we saw different groups of stars. Sometimes we saw stars shooting brightly across the sky. How beautiful they were!
