Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hello All, Thought you might enjoy this tidbit.. Aloha, Sally Space Weather News for June 17, 2007 http://spaceweather.com European sky watchers should be alert on Monday, June 18th, for a mid-afternoon eclipse of Venus by the crescent Moon. Hanging high in the sky, Venus will appear as a pinprick of light beside the Moon, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight until the edge of the Moon covers the planet. (Technically, this is called a " lunar occultation. " ) Binoculars will improve visibility, but be careful not to point them at the sun. Elsewhere, in the Middle East, India and Pakistan, the eclipse can be seen around sunset and after dark. From those places, a clear view of the western horizon is essential because the Moon and Venus will be setting, but the sight should be spectacular. Except for a small region around the Canadian maritime provinces, this event will be completely invisible from North America. Please check http://spaceweather.com for photos, timetables and a worldwide visibility map.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Thanks Sally for this tidbit. Last night my wife and I were walking around the neighborhood and I pointed out the Moon and Venus. At the time they were three fingers apart which indicates about 6 degrees. Can't wait to see them together tonight...

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Hi Sally, I could see all three planets close together last night. It provided a good opportunity to give my kids an astrology lesson.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Yes Shayn, I saw the two lights by the Moon, the one closest must have been Saturn.
