    I wish I was a glow worm
    A glow worm's never glum
    Cos how can you be grumpy
    When the sun shines out your bum!

    Perhaps you looked at a different time to me.  At this moment it’s below the horizon in the North. 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Gardeners World is an Earth-based site. Are you both on the same planet?

    What planet would that be ? Sometimes l have no idea where l am. I did see the Plough when l looked out of the window at about 4am. That and Orion are the only ones l recognise. :blush:

    You'll never see any planets in the NE !
    The bright star IS Capella (Alpha Aurigae) ; actually a system of two binary pairs !(four stars) . (Imagine the sunsets on worlds orbiting those)!! At a distance of 43x6million x 1 million miles , it's relatively close :o

    If you've minimal light pollution , at 'five o' clock' is the 'dim' red Epsilon Aurigae ; one of the most massive stars known . If placed where our own Sun is , we would be orbiting inside this star !!

    Oh well at least we can go to somewhere with a nice sunset when we've b****red up this planet! I wonder if the soil is any good?
