Moon Phase Project Due Nov 21

Nearly full moon looking East, as sun is setting in the West!  Big, bright, beautiful, almost the Supermoon!

Students can use my pictures if they were unable to see the moon themselves (impossible???).

Look for the Moon Today!

I hope you saw this beautiful Waxing Crescent Moon last night!  We could actually see the portion not directly illuminated by the sun giving this moon 3D coolness!  Also, to the left, though not well seen in this photo, we could see Venus (the evening “star”), and Saturn was also visible, but super tiny (probably 4 pixels in this picture)!

Keep looking.  I hope the sky clears up tonight (Nov 3).

Okay, here’s your chance!  Look for the moon somewhere on a line left of the sun!

Also, check out this great article on other super sky events this month!
