h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Just thrown together, you're too modest...

Best way, though is to send the text (with or without ML) to the email address on U54963 'Submissions Click Here' - that way, it only goes on-site on the day of publication

How about doing a regular(ish) astronomy column for us, GB? We'd love to have things like this in regularly - then I could edit you once a fortnight

Now there's an offer...

How often do you call "regular"?

I mean, how often would you want me to...oh dear, I can't seem to get off this track...

Yes, I'm finding it difficult as well

You can't imagine how many times I had to rephrase that sentence to avoid shameful innuendo. If you're lucky, I'll let you read the first draft of it later

Anyway...

As you know it's once a fortnight, but not many of the 'Regulars' contribute that often. If you do five, you become an official Regular and get your own archive and everything. The more often the better, but it's really up to you

"Anybody seen something.

I have some clear spots and a bright moon. "

Traveller in Time doing a little research
"Visible with larger scopes from 7th
Should be visible 'high in the east, after midnight best early morning'

The pieces are more faint then most stars here in the city. < http://www.astrostudio.at > it moved "

Tonight is prime time, after midnight best of all.

But, as usual, it's cloudy here and it has been thundering.

Rain predicted for later.

Thank you, Annie. I hear thunder

We had it a few hours ago, while we were all at my parents house. Great big fat raindrops falling, and heavy black clouds, and a seemingly-massive temperature drop.

Maybe I should go for a walk after all. It's perfectly clear here...

You need to look Eastwards.

Do you know the constellation Hercules?

Nope. I just came in from walking my dog. The thing is that the whole town is eastwards from here so the eastern sky isn't really seen too well. Not to mention the huuuuuge . But I'll go out later again.

Yes, the moon is full tonight.

That's cruel for stargazing. Or comet hunting.

I can't even see the moon, it's so cloudy, and the weather forecast is

There's a tiny little chance that we'll get showers tomorrow afternoon. Rain is very muchly needed here.

Just to show how much we miss rain: http://www.emhi.ee/index.php?ide=14,93

Pity I don't have a huge fan. I'd blow our clouds over your way!

Traveller in Time waiting at least till after midnight
"No dog to walk, perhaps some snails to crunch

Better visible in the early hours. 'Closest' passage is New Zealand / Japan evening will be day here.

The goes south during the night, at two (last night) it was near south.

Hoping for some clear spells everywhere, then we have at least seen the same moon. "

Midnight... That would be 2 am here.

"I will keep posting . . . "

It's still raining here - and no sight of the so i'm off to bed.

and goodnight everyone.

It's my big girl's birthday today. Liam's Mummy is 28
