   I predict that #Daddy_A and his family will be seeing stars soon.
   
   I sent a telescope. Well, I sent a telescope for #A1 last year, but it was one of those kids' science kit tabletop telescopes. This year's telescope is an entry level stargazing scope from Celestron. It came with a cellphone mount, so they can watch the screen and take photos of what they see instead of sticking their eyes up to the scope and potentially knocking it down. Oh, and it comes with some sort of astronomy software package.
   
   I don't know anything more about it than that.

     There's a total solar eclipse coming on 2024-04-08. I'm hoping that having family astronomy nights will build interest in the family all getting together somewhere along the path, so observe and record it.
