A CIRCULAR REASON | front help |

Now try to do the same thing using a street light that is on your left. If you walk forwards now, you'll lose sight of the light quite quickly. The only way you can keep it in view is if you turn to the left a bit. To keep it in sight all the time, you'll need to keep turning left by walking round it in an anticlockwise circle. Unless you realise that you are not going anywhere, you can easily make smaller and smaller circles.
Moths often get confused by bright lights, particularly on cloudy nights, and fly round and round, often knocking into the light or getting burnt to death.
