"Both of you have one of the points, two points for each of you. The other observation is that there is always half of the moon facing the sun, making it the only lighted patch.

"Who can tell me when the New and Full moons happen?" (ooc: I am not looking for a date, I'm looking for imagery based on the activity we just did)
