The moon tonight
Share
There's a moon up there most nights. We've mostly stopped looking.
It moves through its phases on a steady cycle, full to dark and back, about a month. People have marked time by it for as long as there have been people. Some still find watching it a quiet way to feel the month turn.
What's it doing tonight?
What you'll need
- A clear-ish night sky
- A window or a step outside
Method
On a clear night, find the moon and really look, the shape, the size, how bright.
Note the phase, full, half, a sliver, or dark.
Look for it across a month, and notice how it changes, and how following the cycle sits with you.
