[QUOTE="hark, post: 706688, member: 13196"] Recently one of the Philadelphia news stationed mentioned [B]Moon Trees[/B]. Back in 1971, NASA took seeds to the moon and back then planted them (probably where they could keep watch of their growth). In 1976 for the Bicentennial, those seedlings were planted in various locations around the country. Here is a list of their locations: [URL]https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar/moon_tree.html[/URL] Since one of the locations is easily accessible for me, on July 20th (to commemorate the moon walk), I took a photo of this tree and its sign. Someone who saw the pic said it would be great to get a photo with the moon at night. Unfortunately the park where the tree is located doesn't allow visitors after dusk. Once in a while, I can see the moon during daytime hours. Is there an app or some way to determine when the moon might be close enough to this location during daytime hours? In other words, how can I pinpoint the location of the moon at any given time? :confused: [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]316900._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]316901._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
