Bob Moler's Ephemeris Blog

Ephemeris for Friday, January 4th.  The sun will rise at 8:19.  It’ll be up for 8 hours and 56 minutes, setting at 5:16.   The moon, at last quarter today, will rise at 1:15 tomorrow morning.

Susan Kuschell, wife of the GTAS president will be present a talk at this evening’s meeting of the Grand Traverse Astronomical Society at Northwestern Michigan College’s Rogers Observatory starting at 8 p.m.  Susan hasn’t revealed the topic of her talk.  Could it be the travails of an astronomy widow?  Actually Susan has been an active organizer in the community and is head of the children’s garden located behind the TC district Library, and has given invaluable assistance to the society in out funding and outreach efforts.  Starting at 9 p.m. is our January star party at the observatory.  Highlights, if its clear will be the planet Jupiter and  the wonders of the winter sky including the Great Orion Nebula.  All are welcome.

Times are for the Traverse City/Interlochen area of Michigan.  They may be different for your location.
