Pages: 1 Centaur Vendor Reged: 07/12/04 Loc: Chicago Jupiter-Full Moon-Aldebaran in Short Straight Line       #5523148 - 11/16/12 04:24 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Jupiter, the Full Moon and the first magnitude star Aldebaran will form a straight line with a span of only 5° during the night of 2012 NOV 28-29. For Chicago observers this will occur shortly after moonrise. For observers in Brussels the trio will appear almost perfectly vertical. For my more detailed article and graphics with data, please visit: www.CurtRenz.com/moon Descriptions and photos of the alignment would be welcome additions to this thread.

I had to overexpose the Moon to get Aldebaran to print. It was taken from Arlington Heights, Illinois on 2012 NOV 28 at 17:06 CST, which was 44 minutes after sunset and 30 minutes after moonrise. http://www.CurtRenz.com/FM121128.jpg Post Extras:       Manny Myles Postmaster Reged: 11/29/05 Loc: Far South of the flyover city ...
