Today's puzzle is a SUPERSIZED Moon or Sun! With apologies to those living in Nordic countries (or Antarctica) for the lack of thematic appropriateness. But also polar nights are pretty cool, so it evens out.

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting, non-branching loop through the centers of some cells which enters and exits each region exactly once. Within a region, the loop must pass through all moons and no suns, or all suns and no moons. The loop may not pass through the same type of clue in two consecutively used regions.

GAPP 101: (or 202 in this case)
- The loop visits each region exactly once, so its border can only be crossed twice!
- Make sure not to close the loop too early on!
