1b) Take the picture.

1c) Send it to the teacher - sciencegordon@gmail.com - with the name of the place you took the picture, the moon phase and the time you took the picture.

For example these photos were taken by Eduardo García Gómez the 20th october at 7:50 and at 8:10 from Pola de Gordón. Nice shots, Eduardo!!  Moon shows Last Quarter phase, although it is difficult to obtain a clear ohoto without zoom.
