The moon The moon is the easiest target to find in the night. When it is in the full position, when the entire face is lit, then it bathes the night with a silvery light washing out the rest of the sky from all but the brightest objects. The best time to view the moon is actually not when it is full but rather anytime up to the first quarter, this is when the face appears to be half lit up.

It is very noticeably red when rising above the horizon and stands out like a beacon in the night sky.
