!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

Won't let it go, to have it down to a science, how long, down to the second, are you going....: Comic strip by Ed Stein

Freshly Squeezed

 
If someone says or does something that you think is annoying or stupid and 

you let it go, you do not react to it or say anything about it.

   Let it go, he thought. He didn't feel like arguing.
PHR: let inflects  The form let is used in the present tense and is the past tense and pastparticiple  
"Don't let it go" means just quite the contrary.

have something down to a science
to be able to manage all the details of doing something very well
have something down to a science
to be able to do something or understand something very well
We have traffic management at the new stadium down to a science

down to the second
It means it's extremely accurate, basically. in the context: very quickly
