As Christmas approaches and we start to hang up lights on our houses (or just walk around looking at others who did), take these cold nights to look up at the universes OG light show, our beautiful stars ✨ Each a snapshot of an ancient solar system, complete with its own unique Orbital paths 🪐

Rules: Draw rectangular loops, called orbits, through the centers of some cells. The sides of different orbits may intersect each other, but not turn at their intersection or otherwise overlap. Cells containing numbers may not be used by orbits, but must lie inside of one, and no orbit can enclose more than one number clue. If an orbit contains a number, the number indicates how many circles the orbit overlaps. Each cell containing a circle must be used by at least one orbit

GAPP 101: In order to draw a rectangle around each number clue, there will have to be a line in each cardinal direction of the clue that runs at least 3 cells, sometimes this can be more restrained than it looks!
