Observation 1.1

In the last couple weeks in class, I've been introduced to observations about the stars that better help me understand the theory behind the movement of the celestial bodies in the stars above. Recently, I've come to notice that, as the phase of the moon has come closer to new, the moon appears to be closer to the Sun than at the quarter and full phase. The moon appears the furthest away from the Sun at the full phase and appears at 90 degree angles between the horizon and sun when it is at quarter phases. These observations have roughly accounted for 30 minutes of time.
