Here's an animation of the crossing from NASA's website.

The moon passed between NASA's Deep Space Climate Observatory and the Earth, allowing the satellite to capture this rare image of the moon's far side in full sunlight. We don't see this side of the moon.


:yes: Thanks for posting that, Locutus.

This morning, 6 a.m., went out front to get the newspaper, looked up, and there, high in the southeast sky, was Venus and a sliver of moon -- very bright in the dark sky. Didn't look for long, though, because it was very cold. Went back inside, got my coffee, turned on the TV (Morning Joe) and quickly came back down to earth. What a contrast!

Dammit! I don't have a very good view of the southern skies thanks to a line of trees surrounding the acres of farmland to the south. . .

I may get a glimpse of this but that is likely it. . .

I don't even have a south facing window on the upper floor either!  :mad:

I have a hard time getting up in the pre-dawn hours.  I'm usually in about my 5th dream at that point.  ;D

Locutus, thanks for posting that!  :yes: Lucky for me that the front of my house faces southeast. I'm up by 6 a.m. when it's still nice and dark, and always look up when I go out to get the paper.

Go outside for coffee if you won't freeze your ass off.  :biggrin:

I saw them this morning -- at 6 a.m. -- but didn't linger outside too long. Too cold.

It was snowing at 4:30 am here. . . and still snowing at 9:00am. . . .

But I am going to try to see if I can lay eyes on those rascals!  :yes:

If the sky is clear you can't miss Venus and Jupiter. The others in between are harder for me to see because of street and outside house lights.

We've got the snow here now, a surprise prelude this evening to a big storm heading this way -- starting Friday afternoon and lasting all day Saturday.

I don't believe we've had a clear pre-dawn sky in this area of the country since this was first reported!  :mad:
