Stranger than a UFO in the sky

We were walking back home from church one night. It was just past 7 but already very dark. Autumn nights get dark very quickly here.

Hundreds of stars filled the black sky from one end to another. The moon was nearly full and seemed bigger than usual. Tonight it shone so brightly and so clearly its craters were visible.

It was an awe-inspiring sight, and the children were clearly moved:

"Look at the stars!", shouted Dominic, while pointing the to stars.

Pia pointed up to the Moon and shouted: "Look! The Sun!"
