June 2016
Welcome to this issue of Qué tal. Here you will find useful observing information
about the visible planets, our Moon and other
moons, the Sun, as well as various '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. 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.
For additional useful Earth and Space news, information, and graphics follow my WordPress Blog at bobs-spaces, or as Tweets,
or as an RSS feed.
At A Glance: Welcome to this issue of Qué tal.
This month Mercury will be visible in the morning skies before sunrise while Venus will not be visible as
it is on the opposite side of the Sun in superior Conjunction. Both Mars and Saturn reach their respective opposition and will be visible from sunset to sunrise.
Jupiter is visible over the southwestern horizon at sunset and sets around midnight local time.
