If you are out shortly after sunset this evening, when the stars are opening in the East "blue as sapphire" but the West is "still golden", you may have a view of the same kind of sky that greeted Arwen and her escort when they arrived at Minas Tirith on Midsummer's Eve, including the same kind of waxing gibbous moon at its zenith in the twilight sky!
