That "orange thing" in the sky tonight is most likely the moon if you're still sober and know what you're talking about. The moon appears orange sometimes due to atmospheric conditions that scatter shorter wavelengths and make it look like an oompah loompah. So next time you see a "magically colored" moon, just remind yourself it's science, not a psychedelic disco party gone wrong.
