[Forty-two]

Has anyone else ever seen the lines between the stars? As a child I could never figure out why some people thought there were connect-the-dots outlines of people or animals. Twice in my adult life I have seen lines of light connecting stars. One time I was looking up at Orion and the middle star of the belt took off! I knew this was impossible as I watched it. I tried to talk myself into thinking I was asleep - not or that I didnt really see it - not. I did see it. The middle star stayed gone for the rest of the night but was back in place the next night. I have not seen the lines between the stars for awhile.
