Moon Late
June 2004

June 3

I went to check on the moon here in Kansas at about 9:45 and it was no where to be found. Moon rise time for my area is 9:29 PM. Just now at 10:09 I found the moon just above the horizon. Now, it seems to me that it is very near the horizon for a rise time of 40 minutes ago. LATE

 June 26

In Wisconsin at 11:00 PM, the Moon was observed at Azi 260° Alt 60°. Skymap expects Azi 230° Alt 25°! This puts the Ecliptic far NORTH and the Moon high, thus LATE
