Moon journal

  

Last week I showed a waning crescent, but tonight (26 August 2025) there was a beautiful waxing crescent in the western sky after sunset.

P.S.  Finding the moon on any given day always makes me smile.  Partly because it reminds me that keeping a moon journal was one of my early lessons in making daily natural history observations.  Looking for the moon every day and tracking its phases is a great way to connect to the rhythms of the Earth and the Moon.  If you want to try it, here are some basic guidelines from NASA for a moon observation journal.
