are you thinking 'star light, star bright, first star I see tonight'? I guess it could be bright, especially out in the desert away from any other light source. How about the 'pale moonlight'? If you have an eclipse is the moon etiolated by that phenomenon?

On the contrary, it becomes reddish/ brownish as I've had the pleasure to observe some time ago. :-) I like your signature.

I want to like it, but I'm still struggling with it.

it's a little aligator. Aligatorz is my email addy name. ~===,===,==^=~ It doesn't always look like an aligator depending on the font.

Technically correct, but what I had in mind was how much paler, cleaner the moon looks after the eclipse....like removing the dirt from the asparagus.

there are two versions of the aligator...one with its mouth open and one 'smiling'

Well, duh. Now that you say it, it's pretty obvious; although (this being a forum about language) I don't think I've seen it spelled that way in English before. And it is clever!
