I might say rather that it is an invitation to explain the  
symbolism.  Events are created by God(tm), VOEvents are certainly  
created by human hands.  Not all crescent objects are the moon - and  
transient phenomena might occur on the moon or in these other  
places.  But Harold's character set also includes a ringed planet  
that might be Saturn.

And, of course, the moon is standing in for <WhereWhen>

Well, a little bit does go a long way.

Can somebody point to vector art of SNe, GRBs, etc?  Alasdair has  
convinced me (didn't even need the Three Philosophers) that pixels is  
for the birds.
