I wrote yesterday:
"A final note: Anyone in southern Florida? Tonight (actually tomorrow by standard civil time in the early a.m. hours) the Moon will pass just within a couple of degrees of the zenith."
Greg Rudzinski in Florida got a photo of the Moon within a small fraction of a degree of the zenith! I'll try to get him to post it here.
Meanwhile, I saw the Moon rise way up in the northeast yesterday, 40° north of east, just after 6:00 Eastern US time. I can still see it low in the northwest 35° north of west... Closing in on sixteen hours of Moonshine in the past 24 hours...
