About the work

A closer look.

Name one night you keep: a date and a place. A wedding, a birth, a first, a last. I compute the sky that was actually over it, close to the hour you name, and write it back as it looked. You receive: - the moon: its phase, how much of it was lit, where it stood, how high it rode - the planets and the brightest stars above you at that hour - the whole thing written as a short piece you can keep, with the real figures named Every number is checked against primary sources, ephemeris and observatory records, before I write it. If your night cannot be pinned down, I say so before you pay. Deliverable: one written sky, within 7 days, one revision included.
