La luna ocultará estrella en la mañana de navidad

No es inusual que la luna esconda estrellas de vez en cuando, pero que lo haga en la mañana de navidad y que Spica la elegida claramente suena con ser algl fuera de lo eventual.

Spica es una de las estrellas más brillantes del cielo y la más de la constelación de Virgo. Space.com nos cuenta más de Spica:

"The name Spica comes from the Latin Spicum, and is said to signify a spike or ear of wheat. It is derived from the ancient allegorical drawings of the goddess whose figure was somehow traced around the scattered stars by the imaginations of primitive stargazers. In many parts of the classical world she is the "Wheat-Bearing Maiden" or the "Daughter of the Harvest."

The goddess was shown holding several spears of wheat in each hand and Spica is in one of the ears of grain hanging from her left hand, evidently representing the harvest time which occurred when the Sun was passing this bright star. Interestingly, in another legend, Virgo supposedly represented Persephone, daughter of the goddess of the harvest, Ceres, and as such is associated with agricultural matters...."
