Night Sky Note for May 29, 2012
Tuesday, May 29, 2012
Venus is 11 degrees above the setting Sun. Look for Venus 30 minutes after sunset in the WNW. In one week, Venus will transit the Sun.

Now read all your post and totally bewildered. Must be an age thing!! Thanks for any help anyway. It's all going over my head now.
It gets worse. Just noticed the title of this thread and what it relates to.I thought the numbers 5.6.12 were some mathematical equation !!! Help. Not funny anymore.......
