While we're drifting off topic... I'm on some astronomy lists, and this month has a few interesting alignments (some are past already). Here's a list: December 6th – Moon near Mars December 10th – Moon near Saturn December 13th/14th – Maximum of Geminid Meteor Shower December 18th – Mercury at Greatest Eastern Elongation; Crescent Moon nearby December 20th/21st – Jupiter/Neptune Conjunction December 21st – Moon near Jupiter and Neptune December 21st – Winter Solstice (17.47 GMT) December 31st – Partial Eclipse of the Moon (18.52-19.54 GMT) The Jupiter/Neptine ones interest me the most, because I've seen firsthand seven planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth - by looking downwards, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus - through my telescope), so Neptune is the only official planet I haven't seen. Having Jupiter nearby should help to track it down, assuming the NYC snow clouds are gone by then. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
