This moment is so beautifully written and captured not-contained

Your far-near has a literal counterpart in today's sky, and I only caught it because of how you framed it.

Jupiter is standing with the Sun this morning, both at 6 degrees of Leo, directly opposite the Moon at 6 Aquarius when it fills at 14:36 UTC. So the light stuffing your Aquarian moon arrives from a point with Jupiter buried inside it.

Meanwhile Jupiter is about 586 million miles out, its maximum distance from us for the entire year. Closest to the Sun it will ever look in 2026, and at the same moment as remote as it gets. You cannot see it at all right now.

Porete would have known what to do with that. Solid air is the right name for this one.

Thanks Emmalea. Your framing is what made it findable, I only went and looked up the numbers underneath it. Solid Air has been rattling round my head since.
