Planetary Pondering

"The sun and the moon are two different things." 

That was Alex this morning on the way to school. It's funny to hear these moments of realization the kids have from time to time. If you think about it this was a very smart statement by a six year old who just grasped that two planetary bodies existed separately on their own. The moon comes up at night, the sun in the morning. It would be easy to say the sun turned into the moon ala Clark Kent to Superman, after all the two are never in the same place as the same time. Except for this morning when a full moon appeared on one horizon with the sun on the other. Thus the sun is not the same thing as the moon. 

Pretty smart kid I got there!
