11/05/10 -Ephemeris – GTAS Meeting
Ephemeris for Friday, November 5th.* The sun will rise at 8:25. It’ll be up for 10 hours and 0 minutes, setting at 6:26. The moon, 1 day before new, will rise at 9:09 tomorrow morning.
A star Bowl quiz will be held this evening between the NMC astronomy club and the Grand Traverse Astronomical Society at this evening’s meeting of the society at 8 p.m. at Northwestern Michigan College’s Rogers Observatory. This will be an attempt to avenge the loss suffered by the GTAS to the college kids in June. The form of the quiz last time was like the Jeopardy game show. The quiz master was NMC astronomy professor Jerry Dobek, who soon found that the number of questions were too few and the quiz went very fast. I expect that this time there will be more questions, or is that answers. Just a heads up: This is the weekend of the time change. Before you go to bed Saturday night set your clock back one hour.
* Times, as always are for the Traverse City/Interlochen area of Michigan.
