A lot of effort has been put into this almanack as well as all the other recources. Stargazing is so much more fun when one does not have to dig deep to find out what's actually going on in the universe from day to day. Thanks for an informative website.

I was asked a (what I thought to be a simple question) as it turns out I'm finding out it's not so simple, to form an easy accurate answer .
The question was: What is my favorite constellation ? I began doing research & am finding out a world of information which leads to more questions.
Thank you for having done the research to learn from & to help form a possible answer to this question.
Sincerely Rhonda K. Webb
