    I noticed on the calendar, there is a New Moon on Sunday, the 18th.

    I guess it is a good idea to replace them at times. The batteries that
    light it probably go dead. What do they do with the old one? Is there
    trade in value? Does it just drift off into space.

    Eventually, tidal effects will pull it out of Earth's
    gravitational well. Then for a small number of years
    in geologic time, it will be in the same solar orbit
    as the Earth, ultimately culminating in the most
    spectacular collision since the one that created it.
