Observations Dec 24, 2011

            I looked up at the sky to make some observations of the moon. I couldnt see a thing. I looked all over the sky and there was no moon. I couldnt tell if it was because it was hidden behind a cloud or what was going on. I realized maybe it was a new moon because there wasnt even a hint of a shine coming from behind any clouds. I looked it up on my phone and realized it was a new moon. In relation from our perspectives its hard to imagine what the planets are actually doing when the moon isnt visible. Its cool to think that the moon is behin the Earth in a direct path away from the Sunlight inhibiting it to be seen.
