In the west, Jupiter and Venus have drawn closer, like a smitten couple preparing to join hands for a dance. Saturn, probably too shy to ask the glorious Luna to dance, lurks near her. Though she is nearly full, he refuses to let his light, cold as it is, dim in comparison. All the constellations are there too, of course, though some cannot compete with Luna.

They’re all up there, and countless others, if your eyes can look close enough, or failing that, your telescope.
This, the middle of nowhere? Hardly. The whole Universe is right here, asking us all to dance.
