View submission: What was this object
I showed my wife the rings of Saturn from our back yard with a relatively basic telescope.
I was blown away, seeing the light that had travelled from the sun, to Saturn then to Earth to be caught and funneled to my eye. No special effects or manipulation.
She could not have been less bothered and went in because it was cold.
It wouldn't do for us all to be the same. It's fine for us to have different interests.

I once, when I was in my teens, saw the rings of Saturn with my own eyes. It was a super clear winter night sky at the time and I went to get my telescope to confirm I had actually spotted Saturn with my eyes. PS - I have been wearing glasses since the fourth grade.
