This diagram shows the view south for an observer. Instead of the Sun or
stars, however, this diagram shows only the Moon and its phase (the
yellow side is lit by the Sun). What time of day does this diagram
represent?
Hint: Notice that the phase of the Moon is third quarter. Then figure out
what time on Earth the observer must be at to see the Moon at that
location in the sky.
