I had people commenting on the recent nice line of three bright stars – aka Mars, Pollux, Castor.
As for folk afraid of the dark, the attached image shows my neighbours are recreating Chevy Chase’s Christmas Vacation lights. They have every light on in the house, intensely bright through paper-thin blinds or none at all, and floodlight their garden in multi-colours.
Apologies if I’m not monitoring mag 16 29P/SW1 for outbursts, etc.
Thankfully, this ‘spectacle’ isn’t on display all night, every night. Perhaps a la Chevy, the National Grid has asked them to reduce the loading on the local electricity network?
