Observe the Moon on each clear night over the course of a month. Note the Moon’s location among the constellations and record that location on a star chart that also shows the ecliptic. After a few weeks, your observations will begin to trace the Moon’s orbit. Identify the orientation of the line of nodes by marking the points where the Moon’s orbit and the ecliptic intersect. On what dates is the Sun near to the nodes marked on your star chart? Compare these dates with the dates of the next solar and lunar eclipses.
