Just gob-smackingly awesome!
Science is the worst form of inquiry into reality, except all the others that have been tried.
Religion = Mass Stockholm Syndrome.
I'm not an atheist; I just don't believe in gods.

Hijacking the thread, just to remind people that the Leonids meteor shower should be visible (cloud cover might be an issue for some) tonight & into the early hours of Friday.
Paula, it'll be raining up your way, but if we see any meteors, we'll tell you how good it was

What time, what direction (not that I have a compass), and what should I look for?

Used to spend hours poring over a lunar globe my folks had when I was a kid ...
RE: the Leonids - we're getting snow tonight, but this shower is one to see if you can. I once saw it in the high desert in California, at our National Training Center just South of Death Valley - absolutely amazing. Better than all but the best Perseids in my personal experience.

Compare near and far side shown in this technique! 
Looks like farside holds the "Tibet" of the Moon.

No, no - you WANT too view before the Moon rises - the Moonrise time is listed because it interferes with viewing.

Very pretty but not only have I seen it before, I was studying it only yesterday.
