Re: 2021 International Astronomy Day
What a pity that I didn't know about this event earlier! I love watching the stars Recently bought a telescope so that I could look at these beautiful celestial bodies more often. I read a lot of exciting things about space and stars on http://www.argentastro.org/astro.htm. And I dream of one day watching the stars from an actual colossal observatory. I hope I will be able to do this one day, and then my dream will come true. After all, dreams must surely come true, don't you agree? Thank you for making me aware that such events are held in May.
