Monthly Sights & Events
In the Evening Sky:

All references to positions of the moon or the planets
(Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune or Pluto)
are specific to the year cited, and change from year to year.

References to positions of the stars and all other celestial objects and events
are identical during the same month each year during our lifetimes.

Star Facts, a World Wide Web Electronic Journal About the Universe, was updated by me each month for 16 months, between April 1995 and July 1996. Unfortunately I won't be doing any further regular monthly editions. The monthly articles and monthly descriptions of celestial sights and events that were published during that period remain posted.

Thanks to many for the great responses I have received to Star Facts.
