Phenomena, Section A
-
Page A5, Elongations and Magnitudes of Planets at 0h UT:
replace Jan. 10 with Jan. -10
Time-Scales and Coordinate Systems, Section B
-
Page B7, paragraph 4, line 7:
replace “longitudes of the Earth and Jupiter” with “ecliptic longitudes of the Sun and Jupiter”
-
Page B30, in the equation for the precessional constant M:
omit 0.00144312° from the equation
-
Page B60, last sentence under “Reduction from GCRS to the Celestial Intermediate Reference System rigorous formulae”:
replace a = 1/2 + Z/8 with a = 1/2 + (1/8)*(X2+Y2)
-
Page B70, line 7:
replace “longitude of the Earth” with “ecliptic longitude of the Sun”
The Moon, Section D
-
Page D2, Mean inclination of the lunar orbit to the ecliptic:
replace 5.145 3964 with 5.156 6898
-
Pages D6–D20, even pages, column two:
The apparent longitude and latitude of the Moon has been calculated with respect to the mean ecliptic and not the true ecliptic; this occasionally affects the last decimal place by one digit. Corrected pages may be found here.
Satellites of the Planets, Section F
-
Page F6, Satellite diagram for Mars:
The diagram is incorrect for the date given; it shows the satellite configuration for December 25.0, 2007 UT. The correct diagram for December 24.0 UT, 2007 can be downloaded here.
-
Page F8, Satellite diagram for Jupiter:
The diagram is incorrect for the date given; it shows the satellite configuration for June 6.0, 2007 UT. The correct diagram for June 5.0 UT, 2007 can be downloaded here.
-
Page F8, Satellite diagram for Jupiter:
replace Jupiter I-V with Jupiter I-IV.
-
Page F36, Satellites of Jupiter, Times of Geocentric Phenomena:
add December 31, 15 27 IV.Sh.I. and December 31, 15 43 IV.Sh.E.
Minor Planets and Comets, Section G
-
Multiple pages:
On pages G5 onwards, the minor planet transit times contain an unpredictable error. Mostly the times are in error by 0.1 or 0.2 minutes; occasionally the error reaches 0.4 minutes. Corrected pages may be downloaded here.
Astronomical Constants, Section K
-
Page K7, item 16, general precession in longitude at J2000.0:
replace 5029.796 95 with 5028.796 95
Notes and References, Section L
-
Page L13, first paragraph:
replace J2006.5 = 2006 July 2.625 = JD 245 3919.125
with J2007.5 = 2007 July 2.875 = JD 245 4284.375
