Re: Just to be sure: Planet with multiple moons

::: You'd be surprised (or rather, I'm surprised) how few people will be
::: able to answer, say, "if it's midnight and the moon is just rising,
::: what's the phase?". 

( Oh, and I belatedly note: whether waxing or waning is extra credit,
  not part of the base question.  I mean... how many would get that?
  And how many would deduce from observing it (or from the symmetry of
  the phases in general) that the sun had to be considerably farther
  from the earth than the moon? )

Oh well.  Whatever.
