I'M AN OBSERVER

I'm a lover of the skies. As soon as I early rise, I look to the heavens to marvel as I go retrieve my morning paper.

In fact on Wednesday of this past week I saw a falling or shooting star. How often does that happen?

But I hadn't stop to think about the moon. That is, this picture claims to be a photo of a moonrise. Now, I don't know anyone that has ever said, "Did you catch that moonrise?"

Now, I know the planets orbit around our sun. But what about the moon? And how come lots of days it is visible along with the sun? I think there's something lacking in my solar and/or lunar education.

But it does sound romantic. There's just something about the moon. After all, its not a honeysun.
