Must be a reason why they are so bright and the ancients placed them in such high regard. A source of great wisdom and pondering The inspiration of the 3 wise men tale

I like the wordplay ... everything all “tight and secure” in the nighttime sky.

Maureen, I thought I had commented on thus, but thinking back, I may have stolen some of your thought because I remember writing about tightening Orion's belt; and perhaps of maji looking to the sky. I think it might be in a recent poem titled "southern cross". I don't remember, but reading these words of yours Maureen, convey within its simplicity a linguistic mind big bang. Leaving me stupidly speechless. I need to learn how to tighten up my poetic babbling. Thanks as always Maureen.

I totally agree Maureen, but if these are the magi; always please remember that Balthazar was black

Fantastic sight through my telescope Maureen, stars forming there as we speak. Betalguese one of the main stars in the constellation is fading, they think it might be dying. Be one hell of a specticle if it does. Hope your new year off to a good start. Tom.
