Why can't I see the moon at 11pm the last two nights?

the moon is always there, but it is probably a new moon, a phase of the moon where the sun doesn't shine light on it at the popsition that we can see it. The other stages include combinations of waning, waxing & gibbious and cresent

Tomorrow, 4/13/06.  At least according to my calendar.  We cannot see the moon here as we have had rain for about six weeks straight.  I would love to see it!!

Oh no, you've figured out my hoax!!! You busted me, you're right, its not round. Sorry, I get silly sometimes. If you are at a position when the moon passes directly perpendicular to you relative to the sun's position then you will see a perfect half lit moon. you can simulate this with a big right triangle by taking a golf ball or some other ball and placing it at the  90 degree corner and placing a flashlight at one of the other corners pointing directly at the ball. Now line up your sight from the third corner and you should see a perfect half lit ball. :)

This is one of the strangest questions I have come across along with.... Where does the moon go at night?

The reason you can see the moon in the sky during the day is because at that time the moon has rotated to where it is inbetween the earth and the sun.  So they are both visable at the same time.  It takes 28 for the moon to circle the earth, this is also the cause of moon phases, such as full moon/ new moon ect.

For CA and west coast its best to view in the hours before dawn Sat and Sun. Although I think I read you might be able to see something around 8PM - 10PM Saturday, Look towards the east.

The phase of the moon changes with your location. Here is a page to help you figure it out for where you live...\nhttp://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.html

Since only one side of the moon is always facing the Sun, there would not be observed short-term positional change of the Sun at any fixed location. Hence a single time can be observed for the whole moon. This would have to be based on a reference point of time w.r.t. Earth.\n\nThe time on the space station is observed as GMT (Greenwich Mean time).

Well, in a very general sense, it's best to view stars and *some* planets between 10pm and midnight.  You'd have to look up the positions of each planet (or the major ones, anyway) to figure out when all of them are in sight.

Because the Moon is round and the Sun is the only source of light in our solar system - only half of it can be illuminated at one time.  But sometimes the side we don't see it lit up - when we have a new Moon.

well the metoers will be there all night from around 11pm-6am...but it peaks from about midnight-2am. they said that the best view of the leonids is new england, new york, and western europe. so you could have a tough time seeing them but id def give it a shot to see...meteor showers are beautiful and this could possibly be one of the most active in recent years and categorized a meteor storm, hasnt been a meteor storm for the leonids since 2002

On new moon day, the moon and sun are in the same direction from earth.\n\nThe non illuminated portion of the moon is turned toward us. In the bright background of light we are not able to see the moon.\n\nSince the earth rotates about its axis, this new moon is for all in the world.  \nThe sun and moon rises in the east and sets in the west almost with no time difference.\nTherefore the moon is in the sky during day time, even though we are not able to see it.\n\nIn each day, the moon separates from the sun approximately by 12 degree.\n\nAfter one or two days latter, the moon is separated from the sun towards east. Therefore, we see the moon (crescent moon) after sun set for few hours in the west or in the   evening. All persons in the world will view the crescent moon when it is evening for them.\n\nApproximately after seven days, the moon separates from the sun through 90 degree. \n When the sun comes to the zenith, the moon rises in the east. The moon appears as a half moon in the east. For the viewers it is a day time. We see the half moon from the afternoon of this day till mid night in the sky. At mid night it sets in the West. \n When the sun sets in the west the moon is seen in the zenith. All people in the world will see the half moon from mid day to mid night.\n\n\nAfter approximately fifteen days, the moon is separated from the sun through 180 degree. When the sun sets in the west moon rises in the west. We call this as full moon. Through out the night the full moon will be visible and during day time it will not be visible. This is the same for all people in the world. \n\nOne can complete this cycle from Full moon to new moon (in another 15 days).
