uu,
Thank you.
I always like it so much when you tell us to go outside and look up.
When I read your post just now, I jumped up from the computer here in the kitchen and went outside -- in freezing cold weather -- and looked East.
Alas, we are overcast tonight.
I will look again later. Maybe it will clear up.
And now, I just have to digress a little. It is what I do sometimes so consider yourself warned.
When I see a spectacular moon, I always think of that poem "The Highwayman." The opening stanza.
The wind was a torrent of darkness upon the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight looping the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding, riding, riding,
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn door......
Ohhhhh, maybe some of you remember the rest of that story.
I do so digress tonight.
But anyway, uu, I just want to say that even though there is nothing scientific about me, I really like it when you give us a heads up and I can go outside and think poetry. Thank you.
Boomer
