There seems to be a lot of folks who know about the moon here on this post. Forgive me for my lack of knowledge but I have a question... The moon is out (crescent shape) in Louisiana however it's not even in the middle of the sky yet (like the noon position, that's the best I can explain it) and it's 5:30 am. The sun should rise soon, again I don't have much knowledge if this is something to be concerned over or not. I'm trying to learn myself and would appreciate anyone who had a few minutes to explain. Thanks for understanding.... Kinda freaks me out as I've never noticed this before. Oh, and thanks to anyone with kind replies! I'm trying to learn....
