I got a shadow.
Better luck next time. Thanks for your comment.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it right away.
Thanks mrbill51.
Easy teasy. Probably because it was so well written. Packing so much info: lights the Earth, guided by gravity, has a dark side, goes through phases - all into a smooth reading rhyming scheme is quite impressive. This is another example where the joy of the teaser is not in the solving, but the appreciation of the creation and the admiration of the teaser as art.
Thanks Snowdog!
