Details:
On Jan 11th, the Moon's ascending node lined up with the Vernal Equinox at 0hrs Right Ascension. That night, the Moon was at the hight point of its orbit, 5 degrees above the Ecliptic at the June Solstice point, 6hrs RA.
From Los Angeles CA, the Moon passed almost directly overhead, and I only had a small shadow in the moonlight.
This won't recur until 2043
