....by the light of the moon. |

The above phrase is a straight lift from the beginning of one of Eric Carle`s childrens stories
"The Hungry Caterpillar". Always conjures up pure magic for me, as does any moonlit sky.
The month of August provided a good opportunity for viewing the nightsky. Planet Mars was at its closest to earth
for many years.

And...Mars was still visible in the early hours of the morning ! No it`s not an UFO flying in
to land on planet earth :) - although it would have been a real scoop had it been.
The "UFO" is one of the early flights to some holiday destination.
