Publisher's description
From Aurora Software :Aurora Software Presents:Daily AstroData 2009=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Now for both Outlook and Palm Desktop users!=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Jim Edwards had an annual ritual. Every year he would read magazine articles about the up-comingOrionids meteor shower. The troublewas, he always seem to read about them after-the-fact! Jim consistently missed one of nature`sfinest celestial displays! Jim is not alone. Lots of amateur astronomers miss the Orionids, and many othersignificant astronomical events. Thereare many reasons for this, but generally they either find out about them toolate or they neglect to write them down when they do hear about them inadvance. Being an amateur astronomer is not like being a televisioncritic. Mother Nature provides noreruns. Planetary conjunctions are notreleased on DVD. An eclipse of the sunis never delayed because a professional baseball game went into extrainnings. And frankly, even if Nature`smajor shows were recorded and then rebroadcast, it would not be the same. Hardly anyone can remember what Halley`sComet videos they saw in 1986, but few who spent a night standing out in openfields straining to see the world`s most famous comet will ever forget theactual experience. It is simultaneously a source of excitement and frustrationfor astronomers: Once-in-a-lifetime events only occur once in a lifetime.It is one thing to miss a rare event because ofuncooperative weather, but it is something else entirely to miss such an eventbecause you were too busy to log onto your favorite website. This database can solve suchproblems. Simply load this data onto your computer`s calendaringprogram and then synchronize it with your PocketPC or PalmOS device. Your calendar and your PDA (personal digitalassistant) will then contain all the major astronomical events for theyear.
