  9. Today is March [18] The moon was a Waning Gibbous. The sky was clear the moon looked a little like a half, but had a little more white spots then a half. Today the moon was on the left side of the sky because it was waning. When it’s waxing the moon is on the right side of the sky. When it’s dark out the moon lights up the sky when it’s light out and I look out side it kind of blends in with clouds. Also when it’s dark out I saw a outline now because I look when it’s light out there is no outline.
