Can't it? What makes you so sure of this? Your point about the Red Moon is certainly true, but I don't think it necessarily extends to the rest of the Sky. In fact, one could argue that the reason the Materialists were so non-plussed that their attempt to do so failed, was that their technique _does_ work for the the rest of the Sky.
(Admittedly, it could also mean simply that no-one bothered proving them wrong before.)
((Even more admittedly, even if it does work, no-one (in the RW) is quite sure what it tells 'em.))
I have some secret sympathies at the "things like time-zones work more-or-less like earth" approach, but I'm not entirely conifident that it'll turn out that way, IGG.
Astronomically,
Alex.
