Thread: BE ALERT.....HAVE YOU SEEN A "LUNAR X"....?

check it out, I've been a relatively keen stargazer for many years and this is the first time I have been alerted to this phenomena....

BE ALERT FOR THE "LUNAR X": Have you seen the Lunar X? Once a month when the sun rises over Crater Werner in the Moon's southern hemisphere, sunlight floods the region's high terrain and makes a luminous criss-cross shape. The "X" is due to appear on Sunday, June 9th, between 20.4h and 22.4h Pacific Daylight Time.

I have often seen up to 4 moons of Jupiter with binoculars over the years. sometimes only three and sometimes 2 depending where they are in their orbit I suspect. Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto are the moons you can see but I don't know which ones are which!
