Elements of the Solar System
Here you will find links to graphs showing the rise and setting times of various astronomical bodies.
Stay in touch because soon there will be plenty of detail here to get you observing.
An important note - you will find that most dates used here will be in
Julian Date format, and the most times will be in UTC (Universal Time
Co-ordinated)
In Astronomy there is a need to ensure that dates and times are not
just correct, they must be precise and comparable, over not just a few
years, over many, many years. The method adopted by many
astronomers is the Julian Date. A simple definition of the Julian
Date is an absolute count of days since a defined 'zero' point; That
zero point is 'Jan 1 4713BC'. This method is independent of the
length of a month or a year. Use the graph below to convert the
Julian Dates
you find on this website to local dates in UTC.
