Re: [APML] Interesting Transit

[Radu Corlan <rcorlan@pcnet.ro>]

I checked (with XEphem), and from my location (Eastern Europe), max
transit is at midnight on 1/04. The distance between the two objects is a
min of 1.5' - which is quite good.

In the US, the center of the transit is around dusk (6:30 pm), and it ends
at noonthe next day - so there's plenty of time to see it.

The future isn't what it used to be.
