Instructions for use

• The information on this page is approximate. Trust a printed almanac rather than this page when there are differences. Errors are usually small, but they do appear.
• Times are in Universal Time. Summer time or daylight-saving time is not used.
• Dec is declination (angular distance from the celestial equator).
• Magnitude (actually apparent magnitude) is the apparent brightness. Lesser numbers mean brighter light. Keep in mind that −2 is less than −1, just as on the thermometer scale.
• Phase is the ratio of the illuminated part of the disk to the whole disk of the planet. Examples:
  • 0.00 = 0%
  • 0.50 = 50%
  • 1.00 = 100%
• The diameter is given in arc seconds.
• 1 degree = 60 arc minutes = 3600 arc seconds.
• The algorithm used for the table of perigees and apogees of the Moon is, according to the source, checked against accurate numbers for the period June 1977–August 2022. The greatest error in that period is
  • For the time: 31 minutes for the perigee; 3 minutes for the apogee
  • For the distance: 12 km (0.002 Earth radii) for the perigee; 6 km (0.001 Earth radii) for the apogee
• The error might be greater outside that period.
• The diagram of the meridian passages of the planets applies to the centre of a time zone. For Central European Time (Norwegian standard time) this is 15° east. If the observation site is west of this meridian, 4 minutes must be added per degree difference. For places east of the meridian, one must subtract 4 minutes per degree difference. When summer time applies, one must add one hour. Example: Haugesund, Norway is located close to 5 degrees east. The difference is 10 degrees, and this must be multiplied by 4 minutes, so the answer is 40 minutes. A planet which, according to the diagram, passes the meridian at 22:00, passes the meridian at 22:40 in Haugesund. If summer time is in use this day, the answer is 23:40.
• The meridian is an imaginary great circle in the sky. It passes through the zenith and the celestial poles, and therefore also passes through the north and south points on the horizon.
  • When a celestial body passes the meridian, it is therefore due south or due north. Seen from a site in the northern hemisphere, a celestial body is at its highest when it passes the meridian in the south.
  • When the body passes the meridian in the north it is at its lowest and is not visible, unless it is far enough to the north that it is circumpolar.
  • A circumpolar body is above the horizon more than 24 hours and can be observed all night in that period.
• The saturnicentric latitude of the Earth is the angle between the center of the Earth and the equatorial plane of Saturn (which is exactly the same as the ring plane of Saturn), with its vertex at the center of Saturn.
  • If the latitude is positive, Earth is north of the equatorial plane of Saturn.
• The saturnicentric latitude of the Sun is the angle between the center of the Sun and the equatorial plane of Saturn (which is exactly the same as the ring plane of Saturn), with its vertex at the center of Saturn.
  • If the latitude is positive, the Sun is north of the equatorial plane of Saturn.
• 
• As viewed from Earth, the rings of Saturn form an ellipse. If the chart in the almanac shows that the position angle is zero, the major axis of the ellipse is parallel to the horizon when Saturn passes the southern meridian. If the position angle is e.g. +5 degrees, Saturn is tilted 5 degrees counterclockwise when the planet passes the meridian, and if the angle is −5 degrees, the planet is tilted 5 degrees clockwise at the time of meridian passage. This applies to midnorthern or higher northern latitudes and a normal view (not mirrored), as you have with the naked eye and with binoculars. Telescopes may show a mirrored image.
  • The figures below give an example of Saturn's movement in the sky.
  • 
    Figures 1, 2 and 3 show Saturn before, when and after, respectively, it is on the meridian, seen from midnorthern latitudes. This is an illustration only and does not provide exact or realistic angles and positions.
• AU is an abbreviation for astronomical unit, which is the mean distance from the Sun to the Earth. This mean distance is 149 597 870 kilometres, but we have rounded it to 150 million kilometres at the vertical axis of the diagram.
• Nutation is a small, periodic motion that the Earth makes, in addition to its orbit around the Sun and its rotation on its own axis. Calculations of the nutation over time give a function composed of many sine waves with different periods and different amplitudes.
  • Simply explained, a sine wave is a smooth and regular wave.
  • The nutation is partitioned into two components: nutation in obliquity (axial tilt) and nutation in longitude. When the nutation in obliquity changes, the Earth's axial tilt also changes correspondingly, and the tropic and polar circles do the same. In this almanac, we have a chart of nutation in obliquity, but not of nutation in longitude. A positive value of the nutation in obliquity means that the axial tilt is greater than the mean value, and when it is negative the axial tilt is smaller.
  • Remember that the polar circles have a latitude of 90 degrees minus the axial tilt, so when the nutation is positive, the true latitude of the Arctic Circle is south of its mean position.
• For particularly interested readers: Delta T, which is the difference between Terrestrial Time and Universal Time, is in this almanac set to +49 seconds.
