32. Moon Diary-March 29, 2006 Today was a New Moon. When looking at the location of the moon with a bird’s eye view, the moon is in between the sun and the earth. Therefore, since the same side of the moon is always illuminated and we see the moon as it is rotating around the earth,,we see a new moon.

33. Moon Diary-April 3, 2006. Today was a Waxing Crescent. When look at the location of the moon with a bird’s eye view, the moon is underneath the earth and to the left, but is still in between the sun and the earth. Therefore, since the same side of the moon is always illuminated and we see the moon as it is rotating around the earth, we see the waxing crescent.

34. Moon Diary-April 5, 2006 Today was a first quarter, half moon. When look at the location of the moon with a bird’s eye view, the moon is directly underneath the earth. Therefore, since the same side of the moon is always illuminated and we see the moon as it is rotating around the earth, we see the half moon.

35. Moon Diary-April 13, 2006 Today was a full moon. When look at the location of the moon with a bird’s eye view, the moon is left of the earth and the earth is in-between the sun and the moon. Therefore, since the same side of the moon is always illuminated and we see the moon as it is rotating around the earth, we see the full moon.

36. Moon Diary-April 21, 2006 Today was a third quarter, half moon. When look at the location of the moon with a bird’s eye view, the moon is directly above the earth. Therefore, since the same side of the moon is always illuminated and we see the moon as it is rotating around the earth, we see the half moon.
