	A Master Key of Temporary Celestial Events by W. B. Masse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		As I was putting together this list of historic temporary celestial events, I was struck by the fact that these events were not of uniform kind and were not randomly and evenly scattered over time.
		The correlation between this chief, the birthing temple, and the absence of temporary celestial events is too striking to be considered chance.
		Hawaiian celestial event encoding goes far beyond the naming of chiefs and the telling of legendary histories; it pervades cosmology, art, iconography, chiefly symbols, architecture, time reckoning, and religious and chiefly rituals.

		Either of the two points on the celestial sphere at which the ecliptic intersects the celestial equator; also the time at which the Sun passes through either of these intersection points; i.e., when the apparent longitude (see apparent place; celestial longitude) of the Sun is 0° or 180°.
		Periodic celestial event in the orbit of a celestial body
		One of the two points on the ecliptic at which the Sun appears to be farthest away from the celestial equator (representing therefore mid-summer or mid-winter).

		In the United States, the final moments of the event will be visible only in Eastern parts of the country just after sunrise, providing viewer's have an unobstructed view of the horizon.
		This year's event will be watched mostly for the sake of curiosity.
		Some astronomers are interested in the transit as a way to hone skills for using the related celestial alignments for detecting planets passing in front of other stars and probing the atmospheres of those planets.

	Thousands witness rare Venus transit
		Thousands of people thronged various planetaria across the country on Tuesday to view the rare celestial event, the Venus transit, turning the day into a mini-festival even as weather god played spoilsport in Delhi, clouding the Sun for a major part of the transit time.
		An international dimension to the event was added with a team of astronomers from the United States visiting India specifically to record it.

	The Hindu : Andhra Pradesh News : Spectacular celestial event tomorrow
		The Association of Amateur Astronomers has said that a spectacular celestial event is to occur on November 10 when the planet Venus (`Shukra') gets occulted for more than an hour in the early morning sky.
		As the moon and Venus are the brightest objects in the sky, the celestial event can be watched with a naked eye provided, of course, if the sky is clear at that time.
		Such an event had earlier occurred on May 21 this year but on that day, Venus began to disappear before the sunset and it was visible only when it started remerging from the moon's disk.

	Avalon College Class 1 - What is Astrology?
		Astrology is the study of correlations of celestial events with behavior on earth, particularly correlations which cannot be explained by gravitation, magnetism, or other forces that are well-established in physics or other sciences.
		For example, the Sun rising is a celestial event, or any two planets appearing in the same place in the sky is a celestial event.
		The celestial event may also not involve any physical body at all, such as when, for example, the Moon's North Node (as we shall find out later, the Moon's North Node is not a physical object) is on the eastern horizon.

	Rare celestial event on Wednesday
		In a rare celestial event, the planet Mercury will on Wednesday transit the Sun as viewed from Earth.
		On an average, there are 13 such transits of Mercury in a century and the event would be visible from India between 1043 and 1600 IST on Wednesday, an Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) release said in Bangalore on Tuesday.
		The institute has asked people to use adequate filters before viewing the celestial event with a telescope.

	[No title]
		There is satellite imagery suggesting that a celestial warning against such an attack has occurred, and that the Bush administration has deliberately kept this from the general public and from being taken up by the national media.
		Essentially, NASA was putting the lid on an unanticipated celestial event that transformed the whole issue of Comet NEAT's passage away from a purely astronomical event within the scientific and technical competencies of NASA, into an event that had important public policy implications.
		Such a celestial event had the potential to shift public attention away from the administration's case for a preemptive war, to a more prudent course based on the inherent symbolism contained in the apparent 'communication' by a non-human intelligence.

	Geniet: Chance of un-intential alignment towards celestial events
		When building a structure, it can be that its direction is by chance to an important celestial event; like solstice, lunar standstill limits, etc. It is important to know what the chances are when evaluating structures build without any intentional direction.
		the maximum variation (3 sigma) of the rise and set horizon azimuth of a celestial event (due to refraction, unknown which limb is watched, declination limit not at rise or set moment, etc) is 1°.5
		As an example; when having 10 [m] length passages+chambers with randomly build direction, the chance that it is pointed to a celestial event is 70% when looking at all celestial events (10 solar and 8 lunar) and around 50% when looking at only (10) solar or only (8) lunar events.

		An international gamma ray astronomy symposium hosted by the UNH Space Science Center was interrupted last week by the detection of a "whopper" gamma ray burst, just the sort of celestial phenomenon scientists from around the world had gathered to discuss.
		Their energy, says Ryan colleague Mark McConnell, "is second only to the Big Bang," the event many scientists believe triggered the creation of the universe.
		The gamma ray burst is one of the larger events detected by COMPTEL, says Ryan, occurring in the constellation Camelopardalis.

		The outcome of this rare celestial event and the overall experience from this unique public education project will clearly be of very wide interest, not just in the field of astronomy.
		Only a few such events have been observed since the 17th century when the knowledge of the planetary motions became sufficiently good to permit the prediction of such events.
		The understanding of these events implies detailed and accurate knowledge of orbital dynamics as these celestial events only occur in particular configurations: when the orbital nodes of the Venus orbit are located near the Sun-Earth axis.

	The Celestial Event of the New Moon
		In both astronomy and astrology, the celestial phenomenon known as the New Moon occurs at the exact moment the Sun and the Moon occupy precisely the same point in the sky-map of the Zodiac — the same degree and minute of arc in a particular sign.
		In Astrology, this aspect of alignment is known as a conjunction.
		The metaphor of the New Moon, this monthly “alliance” of the two most individually significant celestial bodies, denotes a renewed alignment of one’s sense of personal direction and one’s sense of emotional commitment in successive departments or concerns of life.
