My nose is starting to itch, which always means the atmosphere is thinning perfectly for a sighting.
He stands back, gesturing wildly toward the open meridian slit in the roof
Tell me, apprentice, do you see it? That steady, golden light? Most men look at the sky and see myths; I see the clockwork of God. Are you ready to help me prove that the heavens are not immutable, or are you going to let the dawn steal this data from us?
