Today the moon is in the phase of a new moon. Scientists actually consider the new moon phase the first of the moon's phases.
Recall some of our conversations in class, return to the phase video on this blog, or do some of your own research tonight to post about what a new moon means.
At 8:02 I looked for the moon but I didn't see it. I didn't see it because it is a new moon. I learned that a solar eclipse happens only when there is a new moon. But for a solar eclipse to happen the sun, moon, and earth have to be in a straight line.
ReplyDeleteToday I went out to look at 8:11 but I didn't see anything so it must be
ReplyDeletethe new moon when you can't see the moon and when the moon is between the sun and the earth.
The new moon is the first phase of the Moon, when it orbits as seen from the Earth, the moment when the Moon and the Sun have the same ecliptical longitude. The new Moon is not visible.
ReplyDeleteToday I looked for the moon at 8:06 am. I did not see it because it was a new moon. A new moon means that the moon is in the middle of the sun and the earth. The moon blocks the sun. So we cannot see the moon. I also know that a new moon has 3 phases. I also know that a Solar eclipse happens when a new moon happens.
ReplyDeleteToday I looked outside at 5:52. I did not see the moon because it is a new moon. On the day of new moon, the moon and sun rise and set at the same time. The moon crosses the sky with the sun during the day. We can’t see the new moon in the sky. It is too close to the sun’s glare to be visible. Plus its lighted side is facing away from us.
ReplyDeleteWhen there is a new moon it is invisible from Earth. The moon does not work on our calendar and a lunar month is 29 and a half days. In religion and astrology a new moon can be very important and means a new beginning.
ReplyDeleteToday there was no moon because the moon is in the middle of the sun and the earth. Only one part of the world can see the eclipse.In the other part of the world at night there will be no moon, this is called the New Moon.
ReplyDeleteWhen there's a new moon you can't see the moon because the moon is in front of the sun so the side we usually see because there's no light on that side.
ReplyDeleteThe new Moon is when you can't see the Moon because the sun is not shining on the Moon. Actually the new Moon isn't invisible, it is just that the sun is not shining its light on the Moon.
ReplyDeleteYou can only see the moon when light reflects off the sun. That is how you see the moon in different shapes. The new moon is when the earth is blocking the moon and the sun's light can't reflect on the moon. The new moon phase comes every 29 and a half days.
ReplyDeleteAt 7:30 I looked outside. I saw the new moon but I really didn't see a moon 'cause the sun shines on the part of the moon we can't see. A solar eclipse happens during a new moon but only a part of the world can see it.
ReplyDeleteI learned that there are about 7 phases of the moon.
ReplyDeleteI looked outside at 9:27pm, and I didn't see the moon. It is a New Moon. A New Moon is a moon that you can't see. A New Moon happens once a month. The next New Moon will be on April 9. I can't wait for the next New Moon.
ReplyDeleteA new moon means that the moon is blocking the sun from reflecting of the moon to allow people to see it. The new moon is 1 of the 8 phases of the moon.
ReplyDeletea new moon means it's not visible to us because it is matching up with the sun and there are 7 phases of the moon.
