14th March 2017

Two photos similar to yesterday because of the arc of the moon but this time I recorded the compass points both times! The Moon travelled approx. 53 degrees in 2 hours 10 minutes. It's not easy using just this to work out how long the orbit around Earth is because both the Moon and the Earth are moving at different speeds.

Tuesday 14th March 2017, 21:00 & 23:10.

(21:00) 102 degrees E compass point. (23:10) 155 degrees SE compass point.

Waning gibbous phase. Distance 244,942 miles.

Pressure 1033mb rising, humidity 83%, partly cloudy, good visibility.
