Friday -- Freya's (or Freyja) day

While the English followed the Germanic/Nordic gods, the Latin languages stayed with names that followed the Roman god Venus.
Both Freyja and Venus are female gods of fertility and love.
I don't know about the fertility part, but surely the gods know that humanity could use more love.

It's a little past 3 in the morning as I am writing from a table in the hallway at the shelter. One of our guests just passed by me and asked about the stars in the eastern sky, so I paused my writing long enough to put on my jacket and go outside to check it out.
Jupiter, Mars and Regulus were the night sky objects he was looking at.  I like talking to people about the night sky and the winter sky is pretty cool. There are lots of bright stars, big constellations, and then you watch the planetary dance throughout the season.
The Leonids meteor shower will be in a few days.

Our little solar system is pretty amazing.
