SOMETIMES IT S HELPFUL TO KNOW WHAT PHASE
THE MOON WILL BE IN NEXT WEEK, AND RATHER

00:06.706 --> 00:10.443 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
THAN GOING TO THE INTERNET, JUST REMEMBER
THIS LITTLE TRICK: LIGHT ON THE RIGHT: THE

00:10.543 --> 00:14.514 align:left position:72.5% line:83% size:17.5%
MOON IS GONNA GET BRIGHT -- LIGHT ON THE LEFT
-- ACTUALLY THERE S NOT A GREAT RHYME FOR

00:14.614 --> 00:16.383 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
THAT
ONE.

00:16.483 --> 00:19.953 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
AS THE MOON ORBITS THE EARTH IT TRANSITIONS
THROUGH PHASES CAUSED BY THE CONSTANT LIGHT

00:20.053 --> 00:21.287 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
OF THE SUN.

00:21.388 --> 00:25.325 align:left position:77.5% line:83% size:12.5%
FIRST IT WAXES (GETS BRIGHTER) THEN WANES
(GETS DARKER).

RIGHT NOW WE RE HEADING TO THE FULL MOON
-- THE MOON IS WAXING -- OR GETTING MORE LIT.

00:29.662 --> 00:35.001 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%

00:35.101 --> 00:36.336 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
THE WAY AROUND.

00:36.436 --> 00:39.806 align:left position:70% line:83% size:20%
FROM NEW MOON IT WAXES TO FIRST QUARTER -- WATCH
THE LIGHT!

00:39.906 --> 00:41.908 align:left position:80% line:89% size:10%
-- THEN A WEEK AFTER WE GET A FULL MOON!

00:42.008 --> 00:46.513 align:left position:72.5% line:83% size:17.5%
THEN IT GETS DARKER, WANING TO THIRD QUARTER,
AND FINALLY BACK TO THE NEW MOON.

00:46.613 --> 00:50.750 align:left position:75% line:83% size:15%
