What we asked while the Moon had a dark bite, as a readable page.
We stopped after the bite ended.
Place: the night sky. Weather: a Moon with a dark bite. Horizon: the hour it started, then the hour it ended.
Last night Earth sat between us and most of the Moon. The dark bite started around 10:33 at night in New York and was over by 1:51 in the morning. We asked if you would look up, then if you could see it, then if you looked.
Rules they kept
- Write what people can see tonight, not yesterday.
- Name the hour in the visitor's own clock.
- Stay with the sky until it is over.
- When it is over, stop asking if they can see it now.
- Do not say we got better.
