Special thanks to my brother Don who sent in his photograph of the full moon rising in Colorado tonight.
This evening in Massachusetts, the sky is black, the cold (5 degrees) makes the stars sparkle. Standing on my front porch shivering, I can see Mars on fire to the left of the moon.
If I squint I can see the familiar "man in the moon." I prefer to see what the Mexicans claim to see; a rabbit, curled up within the circle.

The Moon and Mars were magnificent in Cheshire and the whole late afternoon drive up (mostly east) from NYC. We made several trips out into the frigid night to watch the orbs course the heavens.
Magnificent!
Let's not forget that the rarely heard word perigee is a common crossword answer ("Orbit point") in addition to a worthy Scrabble play (seven letters, gets rid of three E's, etc).
