I was trying
to get to a post about Formalhaut but this evening's setting of the new Moon and
Venus in Cancer is so pretty I had to post a map and virtual snap shots for
tonight and tomorrow. I think tomorrow’s
setting will be just as pretty. Here is
a chart for tonight, then a Stellarium screen shot for almost 10:00pm. If you get out there by 9:00pm you should be
able to see both of them.
The same view on Stellarium:
Map for tomorrow night:
Stellarium screen shot for tomorrow night:
When you put the ecliptic and celestial equator up it is easy to tell where Cancer is, the part where the ecliptic is way above the celestial equator.
