Throughout the quarter we have been observing the Moon in relation to time and the relative position from Earth.  We viewed the Moon on several occasions from Saf's house. We attempted to view the various formation and craters that where listed on the Moon Map.   We had a hard time being able to see distinguishing areas that are on the Moon, from the Moon Map because we had to use our binoculars.

On 3/31/98 the moon was a crescent moon near the constellation of Virgo.
