The distance from me to the webcam I'm watching is 5,900 miles. The distance from the earth to the moon is 238,857 miles.

What time is it supposed to turn orange? (I'd rather not stand outside for a long time when it's below freezing)

Quite a clear sky out tonight this way.

Not sure freezing my ass off was worth it but it was pretty cool.

 

[ZeletDude]

That was cool

 

[classical_hero]

I can't see the moon right now either.

I suppose these sceptics also doubt that the world climate is changing due to mankind's influence, that their president is American and that the USA might occasionally not be best.

 

[Dachs]

That was awesome

even if I destroyed my sleep cycle once again just to see it

It was cloudy last night The first lunar eclipse on the winter solstice in over 3 centuries and mother nature denied me.
