Sherlock Holmes asked his 5 faithful friend Dr. Watson what he saw from the sky. “6 Millions and millions of stars,” said Dr. Watson. Based on his knowledge on 7 astronomy, he believed there are millions of galaxies and 8 billions of planets. He deduced that it was probably a quarter past three based on the 9 scientific measurement of time. From the 10 current atmosphere, he forecasted that it would be a beautiful day the next day.
