Description
Chris and Mr Max are out under autumn skies. Chris talks about the special stars of the Great Square of Pegasus, which is not Great or even a square. We wonder if the Moon illusion applies to flying horses, while Mr Max deals with the students of Oxford by choosing to stroll down the middle of the street.
