Observation:
Going outside this day, I saw the beautiful waxing crescent! Just yesterday was the New Moon and today you can see the little strip of light in the sky. In both photos you can still see the whole Moon but when you are physically looking at the Moon outside you will not be able to see the outline of the Moon. This is partly due to the intense contrast of the very light strip of the Moon and the darkness of the sky. I took this photo around 8:30 pm and right now the Moon is in the western sky so it is about to disappear from view soon and that will soon leave us to a beautiful "empty" sky allowing all the other stars to have a chance to shine bright. So if you want to do any stargazing, this week would be the best time while the Moon isn't too bright and since it sets pretty early. Just make sure to follow the stars!
