-"What will be, if I ate the moon from the sky?"-the young dragon asked.-"It looks so delightful!"
Dragon that ate the moon, AlviaAlcedo on deviantArt
I'm sure there's ancient mythology explaining eclipses as dragons eating the moon...

There was another faint point near the moon tonight - only the brightest stars and objects are visible from my flat thanks to a street lamp outside. Fortunately Home Planet has an artificial horizon!
Again decoding the symbols, ♃ is Jupiter off to the side and ♇ is Pluto (which is far too faint to be visible), so it must be ♄ which is the symbol for Saturn.

Distracted by sunsets
Sep. 29th, 2018 08:40 pmI really ought to pop out and get something for supper... but why do that when I can spend the past hour out on my balcony, watching a beautiful sunset instead...

While driving back from work today I spotted a gloriously large full moon just rising over the horizon, partially obscured by scattered clouds. Since I was driving I couldn't really pause and take photos, so once I'd got back to my flat off I set off with camera in search of lunar photos...
