Branwen, thats brilliant. I'll come back and watch it that again later. Just caught something on the tv about the Dark Sky Park of Galloway.

The presenter made reference to the Three Wise Men saying that the legend has its roots in astronomy - the King Planet, Jupiter and the King Star, Regulus passed in the sky over a four month period. This may have been taken as a sign that a new king was to be born.

Have a peaceful mid-winter.

As well as whoooaaa they also make you laugh . They disappear for minutes at a time and nothing is happening then they reappear in a different part of the sky in a different colour .
