Asaf i would say youre wrong! Just to tell you i have a 7 years of 
expiriance in astronomy now, me and my friend Jure A (you proboly heard for 
him) and ofcorse our fiend Javor are Leaders of the meteor and planetary 
sectin in our Astronomy club! So please dont say that i should observe the 
moon more often! In case i hate the moon as my friend already said it is a 
way to bright!!!
