Tonight is the third day I can't see the moon. I hope to see the moon tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteI am hopeful that the weather will clear up tomorrow!
DeleteDo you think the moon will show tomorrow.
DeleteYes! You should look for it again in the morning before coming to school!
DeleteOh my gosh!You still can't see the waning gibbous.The waning gibbous is a moon that is a little smaller than a full moon.It was cloudy.When will this ever stop.
ReplyDeleteWhen the weather does finally clear up, I bet we will be amazed by the sight of the waning gibbous moon!
DeleteAlex i think monday the storm will be over permanently and it will not be cloudy hopefully it will be over soon so we can finally see the waning gibbous
DeleteFeb 25, 2016 (8:48) Don't worry Alex, the clouds seem to be clearing up! We just have to wait longer... Also, this will stop! Don't worry about it! We have much other things to comment about!! :)
DeleteI thought we would see the moon tonight.
DeleteTry looking for the waning gibbous moon again in the morning before coming to school!
Delete2-25-16 8:40 pm No moon again, please moon come out tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI have a good feeling that the skies will clear up by tomorrow!!
DeleteFeb 25, 2016 (8:53)... I know right, there aren't much clouds up there! I can not wait to see the moon again! I think we even may see the moon tonight!
DeleteCOME OUT MOON
Delete2/25/16 8:49 Why won't the moon come out?
ReplyDeleteWhen the weather clears up, we will finally be able to see the moon!
DeleteFeb 25, 2016 8:45... I didn't get to see the moon yet, maybe when i comment later i will get a better look at the moon. Maybe the clouds are in the way.. But they seem to fading away! We may get a closer look at the moon!! Its kinda sad that we didn't get too see the moon in the past few nights, so... yeah, we will maybe see the moon AFTER moon rise, (8:29) or we will just see it in the upcoming night!
ReplyDelete2/25/16 8:54 I agree with you Sarah.
DeleteBy the way.. Did You Know..? The moon is red during a solar eclipses! I wonder why.. It must have something to do with the solar eclipses.. Can some one help me out with this one? Eh, Erik could help me out, he knows a lot about the moon and other things... Its a very cool fact! I know, I know..
DeleteThe weather is getting in the way of us seeing the moon, but that will change shortly!!
Delete2/25/16 9:17 I really hope it will, Mrs. Conklin!
DeleteSarah, I think the moon appears red in a prefect lunar eclipse and dark during a solar eclipse. The moon appears red because the sunlight shining through the Earth's dusty atmosphere is bent toward the red part of the spectrum and cast onto the moon's surface. It's an amazing sight - I saw some of it a few months ago.
DeleteNext time we see the moon it is going to be so small.
ReplyDeleteThat is right! It will be almost a quarter moon (a quarter moon's a half moon; a half moon's a quarter moon)!
DeleteI observed the Moon at 8:45 pm on February 25. I still couldn't see the Moon or any stars but I noticed that the clouds were thinner. Maybe tomorrow the clouds will clear up completely. But I did see two bunnies on the lawn.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that the sky looks different depending on the season? It's because when the Earth spins we see different angles of the night sky and our galaxy. In the winter, we see some of the brightest stars and Orion and Canis major lies right in the middle of the winter sky. Orion is the brightest of all classical constellations (the ones we have known about for a long time).
Wow Erik i never knew that! now i do. The sky looks different depending on the season
DeleteAlso, there are some constellations that we can see all year long, like Cassiopeia, Cepheus, Ursa Major, and Ursa Minor!
DeleteWill the storm ever end?
ReplyDeleteIt will! We just have to wait it out. It looks like we will see the moon tomorrow night!!
DeleteI hope we will see it tomarrow night
DeleteYes it will we think, Carlie I looked at the weather on Google. It will be slightly better tomorrow and way better on Saturday.
DeleteI forgot to say that the Moon is still a waning gibbous tonight behind the thinner clouds. Mrs. Conklin, do you think we can see it tomorrow morning?
ReplyDeleteI do!! My weather app is showing clearer skies tomorrow!
DeleteTonight I could not see anything in the sky. No stars or moon.
ReplyDeleteFact: The average difference from the moon to the earth is 384403 kilometers (238807 miles)
������
That is a very far distance!
DeleteCool fact Lilly.
Delete(the question marks on my post were moon emojis. They did not work
DeleteOn February 25th at 8:50pm the sky was dark and you couldn't see the moon. When can we see the moon? The sky is very cloudy but I know the moon is in the sky. I hope tomorrow we can see the moon! Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteWe can't change the weather!
DeleteWe will see the moon tomorrow morning.
ReplyDeleteI think we might!
Delete(I'm feeling better) like the moon will on Friday hopefully
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are feeling better; maybe that will bring us good luck and we will finally see the moon!
Delete2/25/16 9:00 I don't think we will see the moon for a very long time!
ReplyDeleteTomorrow we should be able to see the waning gibbous because it looks like the weather is going to clear up finally.
Delete2/25/16 9:14 I am now thinking that the moon will be out tomorrow morning! I sure hope we see the moon tomorrow morning!
ReplyDeleteYou should look for it before coming to school!
DeleteDid you know that. The moon as probably made 4.5billon years ago when a large object that hit the earth and blasted out rocks that came together to orbit round the earth. They eventually melted together cooled down and became the moon. For another 500 billon years pieces of rock against the surface of the moon.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that Ben! That is so cool!
DeleteThat really is so unbelievable!
DeleteOn Feb 25th at 8:55PM, I did not see the moon or any stars because it was cloudy. I miss the moon. I haven't seen the moon in three nights in a row.
ReplyDeleteWe might not see the waning gibbous. Only other phases of the moon.
DeleteFebruary 25 9:34
9:24 Today was another day that the weather conditions were still cloudy and I could not see the moon but I hope tomorrow I can see the waning gibbous.
ReplyDeleteI have a good feeling about seeing tomorrow's moon as well as some constellations!
DeleteFeb 25th, 2016, I was hopping to see the moon tonight. I still have not not seen the waning gibbous.
ReplyDeleteI am hopeful that tomorrow will be the day that we will get to see the waning gibbous moon!
Delete2/25/16 9:32 Since it was cloudy, I couldn't see the waning gibbous moon. A waning gibbous moon is the moon that is more than a quarter moon ( A quarter moon is a half moon, a half moon is a quarter moon! ) and a little less than a full moon. I didn't spot any constellations either today because the stars were blocked by the clouds. The moon was also covered by the clouds! I also noticed that the only phase ( Face ) of the moon we saw so far was the full moon!
ReplyDeleteI tried to look today at 8:50 pm, but could not see the moon or any stars because of the cloudy conditions. The moonset is at 8:29 am tomorrow morning and the clouds are expected to clear up by 7 am tomorrow morning, so I am hopeful to try and get a glimpse before school tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThe dark spots that we see on the moon that create the image of a man are actually craters. The moon's surface is heavily cratered. The Earth's atmosphere and water protective it from the craters.
I think you might see it in the morning, Om!
Delete2/25/16 9:54 I wonder if the weather is making it rain. That makes sense because it was a little bit cold today. Also, did you know that the side of the moon that is facing the sun can be 260 degrees fahrenheit, and the side that is not facing the sun can be -280 degrees fahrenheit? That is so crazy!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the moon doing up in space. It still does not show. I am going to see the weather channel to day!!
ReplyDeleteI looked again in the morning at 8:25 am and I didn't see anything. This morning at 6 my dad saw the Moon but it must have been behind the trees when I looked. I was supposed to set at 8:29 am
