observing information about the visible
planets, our moon
and other moons, the sun,
as well as other 'things' celestial.
Among these web pages you will find monthly star maps for either the northern or southern hemisphere that are suitable for printout. Animated images are utilized to illustrate celestial motions such as orbital? motions of the planets, and other solar orbiting objects or apparent and real motions along the ecliptic and the local horizon. New activities and articles on subjects pertaining to the Earth in space are added periodically, while regular features include plotting the monthly positions of the visible planets using heliocentric coordinates; following moon phases; conjunctions; the sun's apparent motion and the Earth's real motion along the ecliptic.
