Super star

I have no idea whether this balloon-cum-light combination is an early Christmas decoration, a jubilant Bush supporter’s celebration (Mr. Koizumi perhaps?), or simply a novel bit of frivolity. But whatever its purpose, on a clear night it certainly brightens the otherwise dull view from a nearby station platform.

    Vestige of all the stars drowned out by light pollution…?

    Good point. That could be the first star I’ve ever seen in Tokyo. And how appropriate that it’s an artificial one…

    An interesting factoid: The amateur astronomer who has discovered the most asteroids (8), lived in Tokyo. Don’t ask me how, he just did.
