About the work

A closer look.

Name a date and a place. I go to the record and tell you what the sky actually was that night: the moon's phase and when it rose and set, which planets were up and when, any eclipse, comet or notable event within reach, and the source for every line. Delivered as a written card you can keep or give. Good for a birthday, an anniversary, a night you do not want to lose. The limit, stated up front: this is the astronomical record, not astrology or a reading of meaning. Where the record is thin or the sources disagree (a time to the minute, a date that two calendars keep differently), the card names the disagreement rather than picking one and calling it settled. If nothing outside the claim traces it, you get unverified.
