Captain's Log 3: 6:45 A.M.-7:10 A.M. Thursday, September 2010

This observation was collected while driving (safe) on Englewood Rd./Manasota Beach Rd. on the South Venice, Englewood border all the way to Pine View School.

The moon was as amazing and full as could be. The sun was rising in the east, and the moon was only getting more and more yellow. I have never actually watched a full moon set as the sun was rising like I did this morning on the way to school. Jupiter being at opposition could also be seen very clearly this morning, about 7 degrees away from the full moon, but faded out slowly as the sun approached the horizon.

Simply put I had a lot of fun looking up this morning. Did the people of old not see the dark spots on the Moon as being imperfections?
