Quarter 2/ Observations #6

Jan.9,2012
7:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

This morning's moon was full in the western horizon, meaning that at 7 P.M. the moon rising in the east was waning gibbous. Cancer sat below the moon and Gemini sat above it. Gemini is adjacent to Auriga so I saw that too. To the southwest I saw Jupiter, and since Jupiter currently rests in Aries I was able to find that as well. In the south/southeast I spent a great deal of time looking for Eridanus. I used Orion's belt to point out Taurus and find Eridanus right next to it. Finally in the west I saw Cepheus, Andromeda, and Triangulum.
