Welcome
to this issue of Qué tal?
in the Current Skies. Here you will find useful
observing information about the visible
planets, our moon
and other moons, the sun,
as well as other 'things' celestial.
Hello: The July issue will be a special issue based
on a view from approximately 40 degrees south latitude. It is, as you may
have noticed posted early. I will be spending some of my summer this winter
in New Zealand attending the annual conference of the Royal Astronomical
Society of NZ.

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.
