I tend to look at this way. Astronomical events and Utah are much like oil and water, they don't play well with one another. ________________________________ From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2012 1:12 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] transit viewing volunteers On 30 May 2012, at 09:43, Chuck Hards wrote:
There is an unwritten rule in the universe that states that any rare astronomical event visible from Salt Lake will bring in bad weather. I've seen it happen too many times to not believe it.
The one saving grace to the transit is unlike the recent eclipse when the best part only lasted 4 minutes, with the transit the good stuff will last nearly 5 hours. So baring a monsoon we should at least be able to get a few peeks through holes in the clouds. But I'm still holding out for clear skies. patrick _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
