A Celestial Question


We had house guests last week and I found myself explaining my fascination with the brightest star that appears nightly in our local western sky.

Years ago I took a good clear photo of the moon hanging just above Venus as viewed from my backyard. Then last night I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the same scenario was being replayed. A thin crescent of our lunar neighbour had parked itself just slightly above the shining planetary beacon, creating somewhat of a celestial question mark.

Perhaps the moon is asking, “What’s my origin? Have you figured me out yet?”
