Happy NEW MOON!

Tonight is the darkest night in October. Happy NEW MOON everyone! 
What? WHY? On the day of new moon, the moon rises when the sun rises. It sets when the sun sets. It crosses the sky with the sun during the day.
HUH? Its lighted half is facing entirely away from Earth.
The image above is imaginary. It’s as if you flew in a spaceship to a place where you could see the night side of the moon. Imaginary? When the moon is new, its night face is facing us on Earth … and we can’t see the moon at this time.
Go outside and check it out!

Take a moment..

To reflect & think about your education. With so much opportunity, are YOU taking advantage?
