As the night draped the world in its quiet embrace, I embarked on a familiar journey I held dear. Walking under the celestial theatre, I craned my neck to behold the canvas of stars, like a thousand pinpricks in the dark curtain. Every night, it was different, and every night, it was a new chapter in a cosmic saga.
I’ve always believed there’s a cryptic message in these celestial patterns, tales etched in constellations. The stars whispered secrets through their luminous arrangement. Their energies, I knew, resonated deeply within us.
During my latest nocturnal adventure, it was Jupiter’s reign, a colossal presence gleaming with an unmatched brightness in the moon’s absence.
It felt as if this gas giant had appointed itself as my guide through the enigmatic canvas above.
What was its message? Jupiter’s energy meant expansion, and so I embraced its grandeur, daring to dream beyond boundaries.
Orion, Taurus, Pleiadians and Jupiter
Then, the Pleiadian gracefully pirouetted onto the cosmic stage, the seven sisters twinkling playfully. Their presence felt like a key, a secret yet to be unlocked. Nearby, Taurus’ red eye beamed intensely, like a fiery beacon, tugging at my attention as if bearing a word of caution.
Orion, the mighty hunter chasing Pleiadeans
Yet, the night had more in store. Orion, the mighty hunter, loomed with grandeur, as if heralding something extraordinary. His presence marked a climax, an apex of this celestial spectacle.
In this tranquil journey, the night air was as pure as dreams. Each breath filled my lungs with rejuvenating freshness. I couldn’t help but feel blessed to reside in this serenely beautiful place. The night sky held the allure of the unknown, an ever-shifting narrative where the stars themselves whispered their tales, secrets, and mysteries.
Back in the castle park, as I continued my celestial reverie, an unexpected and surreal sight greeted me. The tranquil scene was suddenly interrupted by a mysterious encounter.
Luminous orbs, resembling alien visitors, illuminated the landscape. The park’s lamp posts took on an otherworldly appearance, their radiant glow akin to sentinel guardians.
The Alien Master
But the most intriguing element was a tall post embellished with what seemed like purple eyes. These enigmatic, piercing lights felt like they were trying to communicate with me. Their intense, high-pitched luminescence made this possible. The night was already magical. A surreal moment occurred, leaving me to wonder if there was more to the cosmos than met the eye.
Clitheroe is a charming town with beautiful undulating terrain. While you may expect the imposing Norman Keep to be the tallest structure, I was pleasantly surprised to find that St Mary’s Church surpassed it. The church’s spire reached high into the sky, making it the tallest structure in town.
On that night, the magnificent Jupiter adorned the spire, creating a magical sight. The combination of ancient architecture and celestial beauty made my night in Clitheroe even more enchanting.

What does the Moon really look like?
I was observing the moon in 3 different ways: 1. without my glasses, 2. wearing my contacts and 3. with my glasses on. Every experience was different, the moon looked different every time. Which of these 3 images is the true representation of the moon? What does the moon really look like?

Stage 1 Colour Pencil Crayons Frequently my inspiration comes from the materials I use. Lately, while tidying my studio, I stumbled upon a box filled with old crayons and a piece of card stock. It appeared to have been prepped for an art project as it was covered with a well-defined grid. I began sketching…
