Lesson 7 of 15

The moon: lit side, horns and phase

30 min

The moon is the most obvious thing in the night sky and the one people least know how to use. It is up for roughly half of every month's nights, it is visible through haze that hides every star, and it can light your way across open ground. It is also slippery as a compass: it rises about 50 minutes later every day, changes shape continuously, and follows a path…
