Observation Post 11/7

Observation Post

Week of 11/1

The majority of my observations were made at around 8:00 at night and at 5:30 in the morning. They were done in a moderate to cold temperature. The sky on some days was clear while other days were cloudy. I did my observations at home, and on my way to school. On the days with the cloudy sky no observations could have been made. On the days that were not cloudy I observed multiple things. I observed the Summer Triangle and what I believe is Polaris and Arcturus with the Big and Little Dipper. I observed the constellation Orion, but no other winter constellations. I observed a waning gibbous, full, and waxing gibbous moon. I also observed a strange phenomenon with the moon. It was a foggy morning and the moon was a waxing gibbous, but very close to full. There was a circle of light around the moon that was a good sized ring. Towards the outside of this light ring I observed mutiple colors, mainly red and green, but a little blue was also observed.
