Observe the Moon through a telescope or binoculars every few nights over a period of two weeks between new Moon and full Moon. Make sketches of various surface features, such as craters, mountain ranges, and maria. How does the appearance of these features change with the Moon’s phase? Which features are most easily seen at a low angle of illumination (near the terminator)? Which features show up best with the Sun nearly overhead as seen from the Moon (far from the terminator)?
