Good thread. I enjoy the questions at star parties. Some are very good
like: "The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, so when we see the Milky Way
in the sky are we looking from one spiral arm into another?" I wasn't
sure and that was my answer. I've learned not to be "Mr. Expert" about
things I'm not certain of.

But on the other end of the scale the most amazing question was when a
man pointed up and asked "Is that the moon?" The moon was bright and
clearly visible in the direction he pointed. The man didn't seem drunk
or mentally impaired just sincerely unsure and a little embarrassed to
ask.
