    2. The new moon is on Friday November 22, 2014 at 7:33 AM. We won't be able to see anything because a new moon means the side of the moon that faces the Earth is not lit up by the sun. At this time the moon is not visible.

  5. It is November 19th at 8:18 a.m. It is a waning crescent . I can't see the moon but I used an app called "stellarium". Did you know that a lot of cultures use the lunar calender to observe religious events? [for example,Easter or Passover].

  6. Today is November 19th at 8:40am. I cannot see the moon because it was probably too bright out. My prediction is that the moon phase is a quarter moon.
