There’s a new moon tonight.
Just the slightest sliver of cool silver.
It hangs delicately in a sky of midnight blue and black
with
sparkling Jupiter and Venus
as its adornments.
Such astronomical delight!
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
The moving Moon went up the sky.
And nowhere did abide;
Softly she was going up,
And a star or two beside-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Very nice, Candice. You are a star amongst the constellations, my friend!
You’re ever so kind, my friend. Thank you!

Wow, I didn’t know this. I will absolutely be star gazing and moon watching the next few evenings. I couldn’t imagine that it would be more beautiful than tonight!
Thank you for the information.
If you haven’t seen it yourself, I must recommend!
It’s grand! Will be even grander tomorrow night.
