is the moon visible these few nights ?

Post by opteron »

i tried looking for the moon last night at the top floor of my unit and the previous night at home.
looked in every direction but couldnt find the moon.
there wasnt any clouds on past 2 nights as i could see the stars.
i was expecting to see the moon as i saw half moon on wed night.

any ideas ?

Hi,
The Moon will only rise after 1.30am for tomorrow morning, after 2.30am for Tuesday morning, after 3.30am for Wednesday morning and so on. The new moon period will be 13 to 14, so the Moon will be either not visible or too "near" to the sun to be easily seen.

Have a nice day.
