In the summer I've seen the moon when it looked like a giant orange

sharply-defined features looking cold and brittle in the sub-zero
air.

It's one of the things I truly miss about night flying.

Got to experience some of this a week ago on a short night from
Vacaville to home. Took off and after leveling at 3500 ft, noticed the
full moon rising over the Sierra Nevada mountains. Very cool.
