If you are only planning on moving around at night than navigating by the stars is the most effective method as the moon is not always visible. (chuckling) Personally, if I can see the North star than that is a great way to get a bearing on North. Facing it you can use your body as a compass, extend your arms, your right arm points east, your left west and behind you is south. A compass is also a very helpful tool. <br />Take a look at this: <br />http://www.trails.com/how_925_navigate-stars.html<br /><br />As far as the moon is concerned there are generally phases. http://www.moonconnection.com/moon_phases.phtml<br /><br />Harvest moons, blue moons refer to occurrences regarding the moon. Harvest moon is generally when the moon rises as an orange ball, however as it rises further in the sky it returns to the general appearance to which we are accustomed. Blue moons happen when the moon rises twice within the same month.<br />We recently had a harvest moon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12565507.post-74921459178322857672011-11-14T00:07:10.081-05:002011-11-14T00:07:10.081-05:00Cute, Traci! :)Cute, Traci! :)Good Girl Gone Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12480401325896207068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12565507.post-86102676275262603322011-11-13T21:31:47.633-05:002011-11-13T21:31:47.633-05:00I call it a full moon too.
