Excerpt from Astronomy: The Sun and His FamilyThe sun has set and a deep, rosy color lies along the western horizon. In the clear blue above this pink band a large star, with a soft, steady white light, shines out, the first of the evening host. Half way up the eastern sky the moon has climbed, Silver bright. The moonlight falls in a broad, glittering, bronze track across the Waters.In this line of light the rowboats and small sail boats rock at anchor, each little fishing vessel with one steadying sail set, the trading schooners lie waiting for a favorable wind, they look like Silver ships with silver sails. Such is the illusion of the moonlight.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
