Bob Moler's Ephemeris Blog

Monday, January 9th.  The sun will rise at 8:18.  It’ll be up for 9 hours and 2 minutes, setting at 5:20.   The moon, at full today, will rise at 6:09 this evening.

Although radio is a wonderful medium, it could help with a little visual assist from time to time.  I have a website and a blog to help visualize the night sky and events.  The website at ephemeris.bjmoler.org is updated monthly with that months sky events with illustrations and animations, while the Ephemeris Blog is updated daily at bobmoler.wordpress.com.  By the way Moler is spelled simply M-O-L-E-R, no extra letters.  Searching my name in Google will display these sites near the top.  The blog has transcripts of the programs and best of all illustrations of the program topics, something I can’t do here.  The nice thing about blogs is they are searchable by topic.  I also have links to other sites if interest and free astronomical software.

* Times, as always are for the Traverse City/Interlochen area of  Michigan.

Note:

These blog entries are scheduled to be released at 6 a.m. on the air date.  The mp3s of the programs are available, generally a week at a time on the Ephemeris website.
