1Last Saturday, Grandpa carried his old telescope into the garden after dinner.

2The sky was clear, and the full Moon shone above the tall trees.

3He showed me how to point the tube at the bright Moon.

4Through the lens, I could see grey craters and dark flat plains.

5Then Grandpa turned the telescope slowly toward the planet Saturn.

6Its thin rings looked like a tiny white line around a ball.

7I laughed because the rings seemed to follow the moving planet.

8Grandpa said Saturn has many moons, far more than our Earth.

9Later, we spotted a bright star that was really the planet Venus.

10The cold night air made my hands shake around the metal tube.

11Before bed, I drew everything I saw inside my new notebook.

12Next month, we plan to watch a meteor shower from this garden.
