When Goddesses Collide

The Moon is the most powerful object in the sky, for only it can eclipse every other celestial body in its path. When the Moon and any other astro orb meet, the Moon always comes out on top. Saturn slinks behind and away, Mars is hardly seen at all, and even the mighty Sun goes dark when the Moon glides over it. Stars and clusters, not to mention nebulae and entire galaxies, are hardly a match for our stupendous satellite, our mighty Moon. So the next time your misguided friends praise tiny worlds in the sky, or vast collections of dust and gas, remind them that nothing can come between us and the magnificent Moon.
