outer space

I used to beleive that the northern lights were a set of lights of various colours that flew around the earth.

I used to believe that the world was solid and that the stars were the little holes that the astronauts would use to get out to outer space.

Once when i was five, i was outside and the moon was out. I would walk down our sidewalk and watch the moon from the corner of my eye. I always believed that the moon followed me. So I would run back and forth in our yard, trying to escape it!

I used to believe that the reason I always saw the moon outside at night when riding home in a car was because the moon was following us home. Stalker moon? Creepy much?

When I was little, my dad used to say that sometime we'd "sleep under the stars." I had this picture in my head of literally sleeping right up underneath a star, possibly in some kind of hammock-like-thing. In my head, the stars would be huge, bright and shiny, but perfectly cool. One day I asked my dad when we'd sleep under the stars, and he said something like, "We did, remember?" He was referring to a recent night when we'd all camped out in tents in the yard. I was a little disappointed, but I got over it.

i used to believe that there was a light bulb in the moon and when i grew up, i wanted to be the person that had to change it.

there was this girl in my grade 12 history class who asked the question when the class got off topic, "Is the sun like a planet, like can you land on it" me and my friends laughed so hard.

I thought the airport was a place that you get chopped into pieces in order to go to outer space! lol!!!

I don't know why you get chopped...

I used to believe that the earths rotation meant that we were rolling closer to the sun and someday we will be squished by the sun because we got too close.

I know better now!

I believed that my family and I lived on Earth, and the rest of the people lived in other planets, like Pluto and Mars and Saturn.

I used to think the creaters in the moon was the baby that was going to be born tomorrow. It always seemd to look like a baby.

when i was younger and had those little bubbles that you blow i always believed that they were trying to go to outer space and that when they popped that is where they automatically appeared

Until I was about 5 or 6 I used to believe that the area of the moon that you can't see when it's not full just wasn't there. I learned it from Bugs Bunny cartoons.

Brian

i used to think the sun followed me every where

Every night, to explain the darkness, I thought someone put the world in a box.

All the stars were air holes.

I specifically remember looking out at the sky on our porch one night...it was cloudy, but the clouds blended in with the sky, and so I figured it was just a starless sky.

So I turn to my grandmother, and tell her "The stars ran out of batteries!"

Later on I found out that stars did not run on batteries at all, but it was fun to think while it lasted.
