Phases of the Moon

A lunar phase or phase of the moon refers to the appearance of the illuminated portion of the Moon as seen by an observer, usually on Earth. The lunar phases vary cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing relative positions of the Earth, Moon and Sun....I was asked to keep a 6 week journal of the moon, to illustrate verbally and visually what I see each night for six weeks of consectutive days . I will post my observations and pictures regularily. Enjoy!!

Friday 2/18

Full Moon 8:36
Today was very windy and extremely cold!!!! The clouds were passing by the moon
making it very hard to take a picture; I must have taken six or seven shots until I was
able to capture the view of the moon.  When the clouds weren’t blocking it, it was big and bright!
I think it might have been a full moon tonight!!!! Just hard to capture!
