My neighbor's kid asked me why the stars twinkle
Honestly, I was just showing him a picture I took of Orion from my backyard. He pointed at Betelgeuse and asked why it was blinking. I gave him the simple answer about air moving, but it made me stop. I realized I'd been so focused on getting a sharp shot that I forgot the simple wonder of just looking up. Has anyone else had a simple question make you remember why you got into this hobby?

Oh man, I read something about that exact feeling once.

Actually, that feeling is pretty hard to capture in an article. Words on a page just don't compare to seeing it for yourself. The real thing always hits different, you know?
