5. (1 pt) Read the
"Astronomy
"Activities for Elementary Students". Look in
Moon phase page: when will the next new moon be? ____________________
Last updated 8/21/23
(note: subtract 5 hours
from UT to get CDT). On the day of the next new moon, start watching for the Moon in the west,
just after sunset (but before fully dark). (Generally is not visible until 24 hours after new).
Start making daily observations of the Moon's altitude, azimuth, and shape, all at the
same time of the evening (will be turned in as Homework 3).
