Once in a blue moon…

Dear Moonwatcher,

This evening’s full moon in Sagittarius is known as a ‘Blue’ moon, as it marks the second full moon in a single lunar cycle (a rarity). These night sky ponderings put me in mind of one of my favourite reads of last year: ‘Orbital’ by Samantha Harvey - did you read it? It won the Booker Prize 2024, and for good reason in my opinion.
