a full-moon - four nights in a row
as mentioned, previously, to prevent boredom
the girl-child's attention is sustained by detailed preparation.
with a bright full-moon rising as the sun is setting
and illuminating our farm, untill sun-rise,
we enjoy many out-of-doors activities
through the night.
the over-head display in the sky
always draws her attention.
the international space station, while brighter than any star,
is noticeable for - at best - five minutes;
the iridium satellites can flare thirty times brighter than venus,
but for less than half-a-minute;
in between such brilliances,
the multitude of dimmer satellites punctuate her sky-watching.
practicing my boy-scout motto: Be Prepared,
i daily consult both Heavens-Above and The Astronomical League
for ideas to fascinate my protégée.
