The Week of 4/18-4/22

Are you making any observations of the sun and moon?  Remember that I will be checking your observations this Friday.  I will be looking for at least 2 moon observations and at least one sunrise or sunset.   The forecast is looking pretty good for this week, so this is a good time to make as many observations as possible!  If you are reading this Sunday night, go out there right now and look for the moon!!!
