Well he did go on to say ".....but anything that gets people outside looking at the sky is a good thing." and so redeemed himself.
BTW an old song just popped into my head (nature abhors a vacuum
) singing "by the light of a silvery moon". I've always thought of the moon as white (or very bright gray) and lacking a metallic sheen. Can you tell me why the moon would appear silvery and how often this happens?????
