Phoebe gave me an astronomy lesson a fortnight ago.
She came in yelling "I've just seen a satellite!" and hauled me into the garden to be educated.
Off the top of my head, I can't remember what she confused with a satellite, I meant to check The Sky at Night site to see what was suitably bright in the sky, but I forgot.
Apparently, the twinkly ones are twinkle stars, and the big round one was the Moon. The moving/flashing lights are planes (don't bother with them).
So there we have the Wonders of the Universe AND the Solar System, condensed by a three year old.

For Christmas, Phoebe requested a telescope, a keyboard, a drum and a fairy dress. Since then, she has;
- Watched Stargazing Live with her dad and loved it
- Battered her brother for trying to take her telescope
- As above, but for trying to steal the microphone off the keyboard
- Developed a fine line of Disney princess dresses
- Has not given up hope on the drum, just yet...

With the possible exception of the fairy princess dress, she sounds like a girl after your own heart :)
