Observation Post 2/27

Observation Post
Week of 2/23

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 multiple planets, including Mars and Venus. I observed the occurrence of the crescent moon being near the planets Venus and Mars. I also observed the constellation of Pegasus, the Winged Horse. Another observed constellation was Orion, the hunter. Using the location of Orion, and Orion's belt, I was able to locate what I belive was Eridanus, the river. I also observed multiple phases of the moon, including a waxing crescent, a first quarter, and a waxing gibbous moon.
