Midnight Planet Positions
At midnight the visible planets have moved a further 45° across the
sky. No other planets have risen yet.
Note the special feature of the
PSSM that to avoid the
disconcerting effects of
‘standing sideways’, rotate the
frame of the model anti-
clockwise (in this case) until the
model horizon is again level
with the real horizon. Jupiter,
Uranus and Neptune can
clearly be seen to be overhead,
as they are in the real
overhead view.
This feature applies to all the
planet position images in this
manual.
