Total Lunar Eclipse tonight (Sat 03/03/07)
Ah so it's N35.539 E90.126 (or, if you really must E90.126 N35.539 )
No, it's W90.126. E 90.126 would place me near the city of
Xigaze in Tibet.
we shall consider *west* longitudes as positive.
Actually I consider it a *hour angle* as well. I place it first
because longitudes are more problematic than latitudes.
(Recall Harrison's clock)
35.539 90.126 (given the similar convention of having N positive)
That's OK too.
- don't rub it in.
... as the intern said to the president from Arkansas... :-)
Did she say THAT?
