I second this, and also (for those living in urban areas) recommend spending the night outside somewhere with no light pollution. Going out on clear, moonless nights and looking at the stars was a formative experience for me as a child. I’m continually sad that it takes more time and effort as I age to find places to do this and the time/money to get to them.
Yeah there are a bunch of areas in my country with minimal/no light pollution, being able to see the entire milky way (and the occasional southern lights) is bloody magical!
