Little know fact......my town (Dexter) ->Sugarloaf->Rangeley are on the 45th parallel. We are 1/2 way between the Equator and North Pole.

(86,586 posts)In Montana! And the moon is about to clear the peaks. We just had a couple hours of thunderstorms roll through and dissipate just in time. A lot of bluster and a little bit of rain... probably started some fires in the back country.
There are a few thin clouds above the moon and they are very pink.

(24,468 posts)Exhaust plumes were interesting. I Thought is was a ballistic missile! Caught it at 50K+ feet overhead, heading to Europe with the Bi-Nocs. Awesome sight!

(86,586 posts)The more interesting the sky watching.
When I was in SoCal, the last time I lived there in the '80s, I saw several things launched from Vandenberg, not in the southern part of the state, and the plumes were very colorful. Since these launches were not always announced to the public, we were sometimes taken by surprise at some thing in the sky of unknown origin.
The part I didn't like was when I was driving in LA, in a semi, and when people start noticing the plumes, they go crazy. Some stop or almost pull over thus taking up two lanes... when you aren't sure whether you're about to get nuked or not, hard to tell what ten thousand people rolling down the freeway will respond. 80,000lbs takes a bit of distance to bring to a stop so events like that get dicey real quick.
And The failures, where the thing burns up, is also spectacular to see. Would be more so further north.
