No data from last month, so I'm trying again.
Help me measure the distance to the Moon!
On the evening of 5 July 2014, the Moon will appear very close to the planet Mars. At that time, I would like to get some help measuring the distance to the Moon. What I need are pictures of the Moon and Mars taken at approximately the same time from as many different locations as possible.

- Set your camera up on a tripod for best image quality.
- Make sure that the picture you take has both all of the Moon and Mars in it, and that the focus is as good as you can make it.
- Email me the picture along with the time you took it (+/- 5 minutes) and your location (latitude and longitude, +/- 20 miles).
It'd be best if all images could be taken at appoximately the same time. Let's make this time 04:00 UTC (which would actually make it early morning 06 July in England), which is 21:00 PDT, 22:00 MDT, 23:00 CDT, and 00:00 EDT for the United States.
