2017 Moon Phase Calendar

Submitted by Michael J. Cook on Sat, 2017-01-28 17:39

The one poster page 2017 Moon phase calendar shows the phase of the Moon for each day of the year, apogee and perigee, librations, conjunctions with and occultations of other objects, maximum and minimum lunar declination, and largest and smallest Full Moons for the year. New for 2017 is the addition of transit time for Polaris at 10-day intervals. This is useful for polar aligning a telescope if you know when Polaris is directly above the north celestial pole.
