This is called the new moon, and it begins the next phase cycle which lasts on average 29-1/2 days. Normally, there is an interval of .three to five days * J^L ^ #when the moon simply seems to disappear from the sky because its rising and setting times coincide too closely with the sun. But the moon really is not entire- * *^1W* ly gone for that length of time. It is just a little more elusive. Regardless of whether the locale is urban or rural, the moon's thin silvery sliver, accented with the ashen light of a nearly full Earth, can be an inspiration to witness, especially against the deepening twilight of a moist, spring evening or the stillness of a new and yel- lowing dawn. The trick to catching a very old or a very young moon lies in the steepness of the moon's orbital path to your horizon, the clarity of the atmosphere, and how unobstructed your eastern and western views are. For mid-northern latitudes, astronomical conditions favor young moons for spring evenings, while autumn mornings are more conducive to enhancing the prospects of seeing a very old moon. The moon is new on May 8 at 4:47 a.m. You should be able to spot easily the old waning crescent moon low in the east on Thursday at 5:15 a.m. It might still be possible to see the moon on Friday, a few degrees off the eastern horizon at 5:30 a.m. Use binoculars. The star-like object to the right of the moon on Friday will be Mercury. It's doubtful that you'll see the very young moon in the WNW on May 8 about 15 minutes after sun- set, but Venus should be visible through binoculars. The following evening, the young waxing moon will be an easy target by 8:40 p.m. www.astronomy.org ISLAND MARINE SERVICES, INC. • NEW MOTOR SALES • REBUILT POWERHEADS • • FACTORY TRAINED • MERCURY - MARINER - JOHNSON - EVINRUDE SUZUKI - YAMAHA - OMC - I/O"S - MERCRUISER Courteous Professional Marine Repair Service • Dockside Service Serving Sanibel & Captivq For Life 472-3380 • 466-3344 Drawing on his Historical Village Unveils background as a football coach, Bailey New Packing House used a sports anal- ogy to single out 1 ;j*i^'' Mary McLaughlin, who is the acquisi- tions chair at the Historical Society.
