[Chaos-l] Accuweather website astronomy information

[D Gary Grady]

I'm very possibly the last person on the planet to learn this, but in 
case there's someone else for whom this is news, Accuweather has added a 
local astronomy forecast to its website. To see it go to

http://www.accuweather.com

and type in the appropriate zip code, then in the dropdown box above and 
to the right of the forecast, change from "Lifestyle weather" to 
"Astronomy."

This will take you to a forecast labeled "Tonight's Viewing Conditions" 
with the 10 pm forecast for temperature, wind, dew point, and 
visibility, plus the rising and setting times for the sun and moon and 
the phase of the moon. There's also an astronomy photo of the day (not 
the same as NASA's) and some other stuff.

Clicking on the "More Details" link takes you to forecasts for the next 
several days, but scroll down and you'll see tonight's hour-by-hour 
forecast followed by rising and setting times of eight planets (or seven 
planets and Pluto if you're a dang radical).
