Today marks the eighth day of our moon phase blog. You will be expected to:
- go outside to view the moon
- record your observations on my blog
- include date, time and conditions of the sky when you observed
- and include a fact you know or just learned about the moon or anything interesting about astronomy
- maybe try the sky guide app
Make sure to proofread over what you have written to make sure that you included capital letters, proper punctuation, correct spelling and that your post makes sense. Have fun!

Today is March 6 2017 and it’s 3:30. Earlier at school I looked up into the sky and I realized that there was clouds but there was also some sky. I was looking around waiting for the moon to come out but it did not.

Today is March 6th at 3:27 pm. and the moon still looks like a half a circle. It is fading into blue nothingness. Mons Huygens is the tallest mountain on the Moon, it is 4700 metres tall, just over half the height of Mt Everest (8848m). The Moon rotates on its axis in around the same length of time it takes to orbit the Earth. This means that from Earth we only ever see around 60% of its surface (50% at any one time).

Today is March 6th. It is 5:58pm. Today it is cloudy out side. Today the moon is a waxing gibbous.
Today at 6:25 I saw the moon, it was a first quarter moon and it was very bright. The sun was setting and it was not that windy but cold. Also it was a clear sky with a lot of clouds the the moon was in front of the clouds.
Tonight at 6:23 pm March 6th 2017. I saw the moon it was a Gibbous I think the moon was waxing it also looked very bright.
Today is March 6th 6:36 P.M. The sky is a little bit cloudy. I saw the moon! It’s still looks like a quarter moon, but it waxed a tiny bit. So that means tomorrow is either going to be a full moon, or it’s going to still be a quarter that waxed a little bit. Did you know, The multilayer space suits worn by the astronauts to the moon weighed 180 pounds on earth, but thirty pounds on the moon due to the lower gravity.
Today is March 6th at 7:19 PM. The sky was partly cloudy and I saw the moon light up the sky.
To me the moon looks like a quarter moon.
Today is Monday, March 6th at 7:28 pm. I did see the moon. It was a very bright half moon. Around the moon it was a light grey but the sky was a dark grey with dark clouds.
Today is March 5 630 pm. I did not see the moon because it was cloudy. I did not check at the right time.
Today is 3/6/17 at 6:31 PM. It was very cloudy so I couldn’t see the moon, but I saw the moon on Sky Guide. It was a big quarter moon. I think the moon is waxing.

Today is March 6, 2017 and it is 7:56pm. On Sky Guide I learned the moon is in a waxing gibbous. The wax gibbous phase is between a first quarter and full moon. The sky was dark and cloudy. I could not see the moon.

Today is March-6 8:00 pm I saw a waxing gibbous moon.Did you know the moon is drifting away from the Earth?
Today is March 6 at 8:30. I could not see the moon because it was cloudy out. I have one fact about the moon the moon is not a planet but it is a satellite.
Today march 6th at 5:27pm (in Utah). The sky was cloudy and snowy. I used sky guide. I saw the moon it was a waning gibbous. I saw constellations and stars too.
