A closer view of space through my own eyes..

As I am a great lover of this universe I could not stop myself from buying a telescope for viewing the DEEP space. So I bought a decent telescope and 1 night I just planned to view the moon, saturn, mars as only these planets are in the night sky these days... Mars is a small planet so it looked like a small RED disc but as I saw the moon I was stunned to see the details of it. It was so bright and near that for a second I felt that I am flying above the moon. It looked awesome! It tempted me so much to go there.. but it was not possible :( and I did not felt sad as it was a fact. I literally watched the moon for 10 mins, as it was too beautiful! After satisfying myself from seeing the moon I started viewing the saturn. Saturn could be even seen with the naked eye in the night but it will not look different from any other normal star. You wont be able to distinguish it from other stars. You can only see a dot of light. But as you see with the help of a telescope you will be able to watch its ring and some of its moon revolving round it. Its a beautiful planet and 1nce again I wondered if I could go there... :) ....
