I didn’t get to read much today, unfortunately. Though I did get to learn quite a bit, though most of it seems like useless information.
It started when I first opened the book to read. Willow came in and asked me a question about the sun and the moon. I don’t remember exactly what it was. I didn’t have the answer, so the two of us went to Mest, it would be more surprising if he didn’t know.
Anyway, it turned into a lecture that lasted most of the day. He ended up explaining to the two of us why there is a day and night cycle, and where the sun goes when it isn’t in the sky, things like that. To summarize the most interesting bits the sun and the moon orbit the world, which is significantly larger than them, so much so that there are actually many moons and suns, but they rarely show up in the sky at the same time. One of those events is actually supposed to happen in this area in a month or so. The reason day and night are more or less steady is pure chance as far as he knows, though it isn’t always as steady.

It was an enlightening, if not particularly useful, day. Willow seemed to enjoy listening to Mest’s lecture, so that was nice.
Anyway, Good Night Diary
