where is the moon?

Question

does anyone know where is the moon now? I live in Central time (doesn't really matter), but i just can't find the moon anywhere. I've tried looking at night and in the morning and afternoon , but no luck. Can anyone tell me currently at what "time" the moon comes out and set now?

thanks

Answer 1

I, too, live in CDT and last night the moon was just a thin crescent low in the west, well below Venus, which is also brightly visible. Tonight, look west south west just after sunset and you should have no problem finding it.

The moon goes through phases each month as it orbits the earth and is lit by the sun by differing amounts depending on the angle of the sun, moon, and us.
From full moon, it gradually becomes less and less visible as it moves in its orbit to get between earth and the sun. Then for a few nights it's a "new moon", meaning the sunlit side is facing completely away from us.
The moon is just coming out of the new moon phase. Last night (March 20) was the first night I saw a tiny sliver in the west just after sunset.
Each night you'll start to see more and more of it, climbing higher and higher in the sky and being visible for more of the evening until it goes around the phases again.
Happens every month - really it does.

Answer 3

i live in central time(LA.),
the moon normally comes out between 7 and 8 at night.
then it doesn't go until about 8 in the morning

Answer 4

It's a new moon, so it's mostly up during the day, not too far from the sun.

Answer 5

Probably new moon, moron.
You can't see the moon because the Earth shadows cover it.

Answer 6

I saw it in the UK at 20:00 GMT, low down and west.

Answer 7

Well...

If you are not looking at it, it does not exist according to some quantum physicists.

Answer 8

the moon is in space.
