2. Apparent retrograde motion is the westward motion of a planet with respect to the stars which occurs near opposition (outer planets) or near inferior conjunction (inner planets).

The apparent magnitude or apparent brightness of an object is a measure of how bright an object appears to be to an observer. It is the amount of energy from an object in space which reaches a square centimeter of a detector each second.

The observed apparent brightness of these easily observable meteors covers the same range of brightness as the stars visible to the unaided eye (i.e., from about zero to fifth astronomical magnitude).

Pluto's mean apparent magnitude is 15.1 with a maximum of 13.56. To see it, a telescope is required; around 30 cm aperture desirable.[25] It looks indistinct and star-like even in very large telescopes because its angular diameter is only 0.15".

parallax - An apparent displacement of an object due to a motion of the observer.

where m is the apparent magnitude, M is the absolute magnitude and d is the distance in parsecs. The logarithm is the common (base 10) logarithm.

In 2009, Pluto's apparent path will be just inside Sagittarius close to its border with Serpens. Being some way south of the celestial equator it will be well placed for viewing from the southern hemisphere.

Sunrise, Sunset: Apparent Motion of the Sun Objectives: Identify the Sun as the source of Earth's light. Observe and describe changes in the Sun's altitude and position. Recognize that day and night are determined by our view of the Sun.
