Album Info:

See the moon and Venus? (Thanks for identifying the planet, Betty) Cool, aye? Its interesting how some of the best sunset colors occur quite some time after the sun has set. Sometimes the best colors are even above and behind the photographer! (dsc_7044ncs)

  • Isn't it extraordinary they are able to determine the time so far in advance!!! The dates and times for 1999 to 2004 were provided by The Dome of the Sky web site. However, this site is not working as of 2005-APR-05. The dates and times for 2005 to 2009 were copied from Archaeostronomy.com. An online "Easy Date Converter" calculates the dates and times of the equinoxes and solstices within 20 seconds. Times are in UT (Universal Time). This used to be called Greenwich Mean Time or GMT. In North America, you can find your local time by subtracting: 2 hours 30 minutes for Newfoundland daylight savings time 3 hours for ADT 4 hours for EDT 5 hours for CDT 6 hours for MDT 7 hours for PDT 8 hours in AKDT (Alaska) 9 hours in ADT (Aleutian Islands) 10 hours in HST (Hawai'i)

  • Thanks, Randy... It's Venus! Tonight, if you go out there, you should see Saturn above Venus at about the same time of night. Then, tomorrow night, if you look eastward, and high in the sky, there will stand Jupiter. Saturn will be faint, but Jupiter will be brighter, but I'm thinking not quite as bright at Venus... Thanks for letting me know where it was. I was able to see it clearly - after a nap and I knew where it was... Hugs... Betty

  • The star is above and left of the moon, about an equal distance (45 degree angle).

  • I can see the moon, but where is the star in relation??? Was it Venus? I can't remember which one was in apposition (?) this week... I think I could have seen it if it had been Jupiter, but maybe not... Please tell me where it is... Thanks... Betty
