[Chaos-l] FW: [TeleVue] Lunar X tomorrow night!

[Mark Lerch]

This shows all the Lunar X possibilities for 2011, and does indeed show tomorrow evening, Nov 2, at 2114 CDT as the best opportunity:

Not sure about some of the predictions I've seen for the Lunar X being visible tomorrow night. My understanding is that this is only visible for 4 hours prior to the moon reaching first quarter. According to the US Naval Observatory, that occurs tomorrow about 12:30pm when the moon is about 10 degrees below the horizon, in broad daylight.  Similar story for the next first quarter on Dec 2.

That same USNO data puts the X very visble on New Years eve though:

First quarter is at 1:15 a.m. Jan 1, 2012 about an hour after moonset.  That puts it visible from shortly after 9pm to shortly before midnight

If your sky is clear, the shadow formation along the terminator known as the Lunar X will be visible tomorrow night. The window for seeing it is listed at around 4 hours beginning at 7pm on the East coast. It's a neat effect if you've never seen it and looks good even in my TV Ranger.
