Very nice Dion. Like Kim I'm thinking about how to include it in my school outreach visits. And on the subject of Moon phases, I came across a couple of handy lunar phase and seasons ICS files on the web. Interestingly while they were both on astr***gy sites they did get the dates of the phases and seasons right. However I really didn't need to know when whatever planet was retrograding into whatever house so I went in and removed (exorcized <g> ) those parts. I've posted the results here: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/keep/moonseasons.zip For those who may be new to ICS files, they are a slick way of loading data into electronic calendars, similarly to the one I posted a few days ago with all of SLAS's public events for 2013.

It was also fun to see a beautiful picture of the Milky Way on the inside cover of the January Ensign, for those who may be subscribers. Nice write-up on that photo also on Royce's blog: http://intothenightphoto.blogspot.com/2012/12/potw-milky-way-by-andrey-shumi...
