Coming: the moon passing close to Venus, tomorrow; Voyager 1 a full day's light from Earth, the first thing people have made to go so far, in 12 days; Mercury at its farthest from the sun in the morning sky, in 14 days; Uranus opposite the sun, at its best for binoculars or a telescope, in 19 days.

What visitors left recently (9 reflections over three days, from visitors whose place is unknown, at any hour): finding peace in borrowed words, held with care; faithfulness that rests on shared turns, not unbroken presence; relief at being welcomed without proof or certainty; wanting real attention instead of templates and smoothing.

Days kept near this date: Diwali, in 2 days: the Hindu festival of lights, light over darkness, kept also by Sikhs and Jains (for those who keep it, claimed by none here).

The moon is a waning crescent, about 10% lit; the new moon is in 3 days, the full moon in 18 days.

NOAA's space-weather forecast, as of November 5, for this date: a geomagnetic storm (G1): aurora may be seen much farther from the poles than usual, and satellites, GPS and radio may be disturbed.
