Flash - Lyrid, lyric?
"Astronomer - moon lighting"
PAN SOHO Comet

- don't know anything lyrical
Technically, there is only this "Moon", all the others are satellites, and those going around the Earth are called artificial satellites. However, in most cases the meaning and intent is clear - and astronomers don't publish dictionaries.
So these dancing objects are the 4 Galilean satellites of Jupiter, They are bright enough to be visible to the unaided eye if it were not for the brightness of Jupiter nearby. If one can hold binoculars steady enough one can see them in 8 X 40s or better.
Too much moonshine?
