======Discussing moon predictions, observations and explanations======

Have students draw any moon observations they have recorded since Novemeber 13th (solar ecliplse) on the white board. We discussed that a full moon will be on Wednesday at 6:45 am and why full/first quarter/thirdquater/new moons have a specific time that they can be seen where as the wanning/waxing gibbous and crescent moons are visible for about a week at a time. \\

We then talked about the prenumbral lunar eclipse, which will happen Wednesday morning. A student drew on the whiteboard the sun/earth/moon ray diagram for a full moon, then by adding rays from the top of the sun to the top of the earth and from the bottom of the sun to the bottom of the earth we can see that a section of the shadow is partially lit. \\
