On September 11, 2010, I looked up at the moon. I was in my driveway at about 9:00 pm, in Sarasota Florida. It looks as though the moon was in almost the first quarter. So, I think the moon was probably in the last couple of days of the waxing crescent phase. I could see a small crescent of the moon at this time. The moon was in an eastern position on the sky. The sky was pretty clear, and i could see some stars. But, I couldn't make out any of the constellations specifically. I saw Venus to the southwest of the moon, and it appeared to be a really bright star.
Tonight, I looked up at the moon (September 12, 2010). I was in my driveway at around 8:45 pm, in Sarasota, Florida. Compared to the night before, the moon appeared to have moved slightly to the east. There was a little bit more of the moon illuminated than the previous night it seemed like. The moon is still in the waxing crescent phase I believe. The sky was foggier and cloudier, but the light from the moon was still visible. I could not see any stars at this time, so I did not see any constellations.
