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!!

First Landing on the Moon

Thursday 3/17
Tonight was nice and clear, warmer than it has been and the moon
was easy to see once again! It was a bit bigger than the last few nights,
but in the picture you can't tell! Like the past few nights though, most of the
moon was in view with a small portion of it missing off the top!!!
