What is the weather like there? Cloudy ? Clear? Is there a Moon ?
IINM, moon is the same all over the world, and it's full right now. Will be new moon at end of month when Israel strikes Iran.
It was sunny and warm most of the day but got cloudy in the late afternoon - right about when we heard about this. Can't see any stars out tonight. Of course, I'm right in the middle of the city, so we don't see much in the way of stars anyway.
I'd say partly cloudy right now. The moon's on the other side of the building, so I won't be able to tell if it's visible until I get upstairs in a bit. Samarra's only about 35 to 40 miles away, so they'll have the same conditions we do.
