Just a reminder that the moon will occult Venus this morning. The sun will be above the horizon, but Venus will be clearly seen next to the lunar crescent in even the slightest optical aid, such as binoculars. See if you can spot it disappearing behind the bright lunar limb, and suddenly re-appearing from the dark opposite limb sometime later. It will seemingly appear out of nowhere in a telescope since the dark portion of the moon will be indistinguishable from blue sky. http://www.space.com/31296-venus-vanishes-behind-the-moon.html If someone wants to use their planetarium program to calculate the times of disappearance and reappearance for Salt Lake, feel free to post them. I'm at work at the moment and can't get to it. Good luck!
Looking at it just now, disappearance may happen for SLC while the sun is still below the horizon, it's getting close. Maybe about an hour as this message is sent. Go get your binoculars. On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 5:38 AM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:

I'm seeing it should start 9:11 and end about 11 am. I guess I should go see if the clouds are in the way. On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 6:28 AM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:

Well Joel's time may be about right. My mind is playing tricks on me. It seems like the rate of closure has slowed down as they get very close, but of course that's all psychological. Getting exciting! On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 7:35 AM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:

I was able to glimpse the moon and Venus close together at 7:30 this morning as I was headed into work at least through the (then) thin clouds in Utah County. :) Later of course the overcast was pretty solid. From: Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, December 7, 2015 5:38 AM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Moon occults Venus this morning Just a reminder that the moon will occult Venus this morning. The sun will be above the horizon, but Venus will be clearly seen next to the lunar crescent in even the slightest optical aid, such as binoculars. See if you can spot it disappearing behind the bright lunar limb, and suddenly re-appearing from the dark opposite limb sometime later. It will seemingly appear out of nowhere in a telescope since the dark portion of the moon will be indistinguishable from blue sky. http://www.space.com/31296-venus-vanishes-behind-the-moon.html If someone wants to use their planetarium program to calculate the times of disappearance and reappearance for Salt Lake, feel free to post them. I'm at work at the moment and can't get to it.
