こちらに移住してきて感動したのは、まず、見える星の大きさでした。周りに光がないために、星座の星がとても大きく見えるのです。その周りに無数の小さな星や、天の川も見えます（雲かと思ったら天の川でした）。晴れわたった夜には流れ星もたくさん見えます。
今日は中秋の名月でした。雲が多かったのですがよく見えました。丸い月が夜空を照らし、夜明けかと思うほどの明るさでした。森の中は真っ暗で、月があるのとないのとでは違いますが、今日は眩しいくらいでした。
夜は野ウサギやムササビなどが活動しているはずです。ヘビもいるかもしれません。夜の森は怖いので、想像だけにしておきます。
The first thing that struck me when I moved here was the size of the stars I could see. The stars in various constellations appear impressively large in the absence of light. You can see countless small stars around them, as well as the Milky Way. (I thought it was a cloud, but it turned out to be the Milky Way). On clear nights, you can see many shooting stars.
Today was the harvest moon. Although there were a lot of clouds, I could see the moon clearly. The round moon illuminated the night sky so brightly that I thought it was dawn. Usually, the forest is pitch black. The apperance of the sky is very different with and without the moon. Today, it looked exceptionally bright.
Wild rabbits and flying squirrels should be active at night, and there may also be snakes. The woods at night seem scary, and I dare not walk there after dark.
