I live with a bunch of amateur astronomers. Days are often filled with lots of conversations about celestial bodies and the latest news from NASA. Yes, there’s evidence that there might have been water on the moon, so here’s Moonstream, a hat where the cables roam around in a sleepy pattern.

The cable pattern is both written and charted.
