    Just one more day to go, when the First Quarter Moon of December proves the earth is not "flat."

    ..............and exactly zero flat-earthdom syndromers bothered to look, as expected. 
    .
    The moon showed up on schedule and did again what it does twice a month: it proved the earth is spheroidal -- that is, for those with eyes to see. 
    .
    For those without eyes to see, they follow the blind, and both fall into the pit. What else is new?

    The next Full Moon is Saturday morning at 9:50 am, so you get a pretty good prelude on Friday night.
    To the casual observer you wouldn't notice the difference.
    The moon will be nearly full, and at 12:00 midnight Friday night, it will be directly overhead in the middle of the sky.
    Once again proving that the earth is not "flat."
    Everywhere, all around the globe, the moon will be highest in the sky at midnight, especially over the equator, and less so at the two poles.
