  1. November,8,2014.6:48.I can't see the moon, it's too cloudy.It's probably a full moon.Did you know that gibbous means swelling? So, waning and waxing gibbous means swelling moon.

    1. I couldn't see the waning gibbous moon, either, Luc! I just looked up the meaning of gibbous, and this is what I found: gibbous |ˈgibəs|
      adjective
      (of the moon) having the observable illuminated part greater than a semicircle and less than a circle.

  2. It is November 8, 6:30 PM 2014 today I could not see the moon. So it is starting out as a pattern. It is 100% unlikely that this pattern will go on for this hull month.

    1. Yes, Noah; it is even 1,000% unlikely that this pattern will continue! Be patient; maybe check again later tonight; that's my plan!

  3. Today is November 8th at 7:29pm. The condition of the sky was cloudy but I could still see the hazy moon through the clouds. It was hard to tell that the moon phase was waning gibbous.

    1. That is amazing that you saw the waning gibbous, Jasper! I just got in from trying to locate it and I didn't have much luck; maybe I will get a glimpse of it later on!

  4. It is November 8,2014 at 7:39 P.M. I can not see the moon out right now. I think it might be cloudy so that might be why I can't see the moon.

    1. I just went outside to look for the moon, too; no luck on my end, either. I wonder if it will be more visible later on?

    1. Isn't that amazing? During a strong storm, if the moon is in the full moon stage, there can be very intense waves.
