Do you know Neil deGrasse Tyson? I think he has a new show about the universe. Cosmos or something like that.
I have heard of him. He was born in New York and became interested in astronomy after a trip to the Planetarium. 
That is pretty neat. He sounds really smart. Maybe I will check his show out sometime.
Me too! Does astronomy interest you?
Yeah I used to have a telescope when I was younger. I can point out Venus and the Big Dipper.
Oh wow! When hiking in Montana, I always loved seeing the Big Dipper and the North Star. Those two really stood out to me. 
The North Star is good to know when you are hiking in case your compass doesn't work. People used to use it for navigation all the time!
I never got that good at navigation. I always stuck to using a map. But I should learn how to use the stars incase I am in an emergency.
