The shadowed portion is entirely hidden from view. The first quarter and third quarter moons (both often called a half moon), happen when the moon is at a 90 degree angle with respect to the earth and sun. So we are seeing exactly half of the moon illuminated and half in shadow.
To see the quick movement of the moon, observers need a set of bright markers across the sky, exactly the kind of signposts in the night sky this week. Two bright stars and three bright planets mark the moonâs path across the sky.Letâs start by looking for the moon tonight (Jan. 22).Many people are surprised that the moon cannot always be seen in the sky, and this evening is an example of that. See amazing photos taken by skywatchers in January 2014 ]. Most of the motion you see the moon make in a single night is due to Earth's rotation. The moon is also moving across the background of the stars, but too slowly to be seen with the naked eye. Once the moon clears the horizon, look carefully around it.
