Zhenya wrote down a mental note in her head; New Moon = first phase of lunar cycle. Because, after all, she DID want to remember everything, and pass her exam. And now they were moving around their moon. OOoooo000ooooooooo. Zhenya slowly rotated to the left, as Professor Flamsteed had instructed, and she observed the changes to her styrofoam moon.
