On cover: data for astronomy, space sciences, geodesy, surveying, navigation and other applications

The Almanac provides key astronomical information for every kind of sea-going vessel, from cruise liners to fishing boats. It contains tabulations for the Sun, Moon, planets and stars, for use in the determination of position at sea from sextant observations. It also gives details of: times of sunrise, sunset, twilights, moonrise and moonset for use in the planning of observations; interpolation and altitude correction tables; the phases of the Moon; a pole-star table; diagrams and notes for the identification of stars and planets; information on eclipses of the Sun and Moon; and the standard times of most countries. It is prepared jointly by H.M. Nautical Almanac Office and the US Naval Observatory, to meet the requirements of the Royal Navy and the US Navy.

This is the ninth edition of this publication which presents in tabular and graphical form astronomical data required for the planning of activities, in particular aircraft movements, where the amount of daylight, the duration of twilight, and the position and phase of the Moon are important. This annual volume contains data for the times of rising and setting of the Sun and Moon, as well as the twilight times for latitudes between N72 degrees and S60 degrees. Graphical methods for determining this information at altitudes of up to 60,000 feet and at high latitudes are also provided, as are standard times for many places around the world.

This publication, comprising a manual and accompanying CD-ROM, has been produced by H.M. Nautical Almanac Office to enable navigators to compute their position at sea, and to give navigators and astronomers simple and efficient methods for calculating the positions of the Sun, Moon, navigational planets and stars to a consistent precision, with the aid of a personal computer. This is the sixth edition of the series and covers the years 2006 to 2010.

This is the 54th edition of the publication which provides astronomical data needed by surveyors. It includes a CD-ROM which contains the almanac in pdf format and the coefficients representing the positions of the Sun and stars in ASCII files.

The Astronomical Almanac contains a wide variety of both technical and general astronomical information. The book is a worldwide resource for fundamental astronomical data for use in the making and reduction of observations and for general purposes. This volume provides current and accurate data on the positions of the Sun, Moon and planets, together with data for physical observations, positions of planetary satellites, eclipses of the Sun and Moon and other fundamental astronomical reference data for the calendar year 2007.

This volume provides current and accurate data on the positions of the Sun, Moon and planets, together with data for physical observations, positions of planetary satellites, eclipses of the Sun and Moon and other fundamental astronomical reference data for the calendar year 2005. Most of the data featured in the almanac are tabulated for one-day intervals.

This is the 55th edition of the publication which provides astronomical data needed by surveyors. It includes a CD-ROM which contains the almanac in pdf format and the coefficients representing the positions of the Sun and stars in ASCII files.
