Rocket Powered Telescope

I started out at my mom's previous house (grandmamma's house), and it was night time. I was by the big barn across the street from the house, and I was trying to use my telescope to see various planets. It was only able to see small fuzzy spots with little detail, but I felt like it
was better than nothing, and I was excited to see the little bit of detail that I could.

Then I somehow found out that Em's parents had a Hubble telescope. (The name "Hubble" here was a brand of telescope. Not THE Hubble telescope...) This Hubble telescope was a little bigger than my own, and it was rocket powered and was able to hover above the ground without any sort of physical support. From where I was standing, I was facing Mike's (former step-father) house, and Marilyn (mother-in-law) was showing me a small demo of the telescope, like how it could swivel around really fast, and it was voice controlled.

They told me to try it out for a while, so I did. I went up to it, and I said "Show me Jupiter," and
it whipped right around, pointed at Jupiter (which was directly above mom's house, nearly straight up, from where I was standing) and it zoomed way in on it. First it showed me the entire planet, and then it zoomed in so much that the Great Red Spot nearly filled in the entire view. Then I said "Show me Saturn", and it did nearly the same thing. It whipped right around, pointed right at Saturn, and zoomed in on it. I saw it almost as if it were sitting right in front of me, the size of a basketball.

I saw many things through the telescope. Some of them, the scope seemed to point to on it's own without my asking it to. They were all fascinating things that I never thought I'd see. Big bright and dusty nebulae. Two galaxies so close to one another that stars were being shared between them and going back and forth and around and around. The galaxies were spinning very fast,
and so the stars were transferred between them at a very high speed, almost like a bicycle chain going around gears.

At one point I stepped away from the telescope and looked up into the sky with my naked eye, and I could see huge features in the sky that I normally wouldn't see. I could see galaxies, nebulae, planets, and all sorts of things, but not to the same degree of detail that I could with the
telescope.

Then as I looked up in the sky again over my mom's house, just to the left of where I first saw Jupiter, I saw three planets all lined up, one behind another. They were Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. I could see them about as clearly as if I saw three tennis balls sitting on a table across the room. (yes, they looked that big) I thought to myself, "Oh that's right! There was an alignment
recently!"

So I had the telescope swing around there and point at them so I could see them. When I looked through the telescope, they where huge and really close to one another. It was like having three basketballs sitting on my desk, and having them each only about six inches apart. Something about the designs on their surfaces, they looked like a big painting. All three of them were mostly blue, with some splotches of green and brown (almost like an earth-like planet) and the atmosphere of the closer two were (Uranus and Neptune) visible as a white glow, almost like a white dust (that also seemed like it gave off light) that surrounded them. The whole scene really looked quite a bit like a painting. The planets where in the foreground, and
the white glow, while it was around them, almost looked like it was a cutout of that planet, and it was behind it as a layer of paint.

Uranus had the brightest atmosphere. It also had rings somewhat like Saturn. (In waking life, it's supposed to be tipped up on it's side and rotate vertically, but in the dream it was horizontal just like Saturn would be) Pluto, the one behind the other two, was actually more rocky looking (little or no blue or green on it) and it didn't have the same glow around it that the other two did. I guess you could say that it had somewhat of a dead feel to it.

After marveling at these three for a little bit, someone showed up there with me. I think it was Em, and I was going to try to show her how the telescope worked and how great it was. I said, "Show me Jupiter," again, and it swung around and pointed at where Jupiter would be... in a blue sky! It had turned daytime, and I hadn't noticed, so Jupiter was no longer visible. I was a little
disappointed that I had shown the telescope to Em so late and that I would have to wait for another night to come.
