Somebody help! Twinkle twinkle little star . . How I've wondered what we are . . Now I know you're made of dust . . Now I know you're just like us . . Twinkle twinkle, oh so far . .

In the space of 15 minutes, I watched it move from the highest of Cass's left side of the M to the middle star. It's about 2 degrees to the left of it (or was when I sat down here) and the tail now extends halfway to that star. Twinkle twinkle little star . . How I've wondered what we are . .
