Re: Spot Moon Aged Under 1 Day - Cheshire Cat Smil [Re: Centaur]

Thanks to all who participated in efforts to make early naked-eye sightings of the April New Moon, especially those on the east coast of Canada. Congratulations are in order. As a heads up, the circumstances surrounding the May New Moon will present North Americans with a rare opportunity to spot the Moon aged only half a day or a little more. That might be tough, but the unusual celestial geometry could allow some observers to set what will remain their lifetime record. I’ll post details when the event nears, although preview graphics are already on my website.
