The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

Great solves - some with different answers than mine but good enough. But I do have to say that a "french horn" is probably more likely to be seen in an orchestra than a "finger harp." lol

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
