Bob Moler's Ephemeris Blog

Ephemeris for Tuesday, May 20th.  Today the sun will be up for 14 hours and 59 minutes, setting at 9:09.   The moon, 1 day before last quarter, will rise at 2:09 tomorrow morning.  Tomorrow the sun will rise at 6:08.

This Friday evening Dr. Tyler Nordgren, astronomer, artist and dark sky advocate will give a presentation at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Philip A. Hart Visitor Center in Empire at 7 p.m. Afterward he will be signing copies of his beautiful new poster See the Stars from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore featuring the Great and Little Bear constellations and the bluffs of the Sleeping Bear Dunes and the Manitou Islands.  After that, weather permitting see the sunset from many of the parks locations, then, for the hardy, settle down for an all night vigil for a possible meteor storm with the Grand Traverse Astronomical Society at the Dune Climb (The bottom, not the top, though you can climb up there for an all-sky view.).

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