Good morning all on this brisk day here .I am finding it hard to remember what day it is and this will continue until next Wednesday at least . Great news that
@pete has a routine back ,that is the most important thing .Only three people matter in this Pete Kay and their son hwo is also doing a sterling job ,in my ex's family I had a very poorly BIL and his brother shuns all care and left it to others ,so I do appreciate the effert he too puts in . I hope all had a good night and have a lovely relaxing day .
My task today is to try and determine the distance to Venus from us without googling ,these are the things that keep me awake .The bones I am working with are .
One I know the degrees above the horizon and our latitude and I can use AT as another point as he started it (without knowing ) then I have to find the distance from his latitude to mine -not the distance on the map as that includes the curvature of the earth -then establish the degrees above the horizon for AT and using trig try to find the distance ,yes there will be flaws but it will be interesting to see how close I get in numerical terms .
Time for a cuppa and then back to bed to sort this out !
Have a great day all.COYB
