Recently on television there was a show about astronomy and there was a photograph of the night sky that one can see from a mountain in the Atacama Desert in South America. Due to the lack of light and other pollution, the sky seems literally ablaze with stars and the Milky Way is a veritable flood.
From the back porch in Brunswick, however, there are few stars visible. As compensation, the full moon in January was beautiful as it hovered over Our Lady. But even this will one day not be visible, if a large multistorey development of flats on the Gainsborough site goes ahead and blocks out the view of the lady and the moon.
