Pages: 1 Centaur Vendor Reged: 07/12/04 Loc: Chicago Full Moon Aligned with Jupiter & Aldebaran - 11/28       #5540337 - 11/26/12 01:43 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 Chicagoland observers this will occur shortly after moonrise. For observers in Belgium the trio will appear almost perfectly vertical. Jean Meeus e-mailed that he'll be watching from Brussels. 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:       Staredge member Reged: 04/05/12 Loc: Germantown, MD Re: Full Moon Aligned with Jupiter & Aldebaran - 11/28 [Re: Centaur]       #5545298 - 11/29/12 10:48 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   It was an incredible sight from the DC area. Must have been very dry, as the moon just popped even with naked eye. Didn't get a chance to pull the scope out, unfortunately. Post Extras:       Pages: 1
