Nicole Sharp's calendar of events.
Unasterisked astronomical events listed are visible from Maryland and states adjacent to Maryland (the region of Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, District of Columbia, and Delaware). Asterisked (*) astronomical events are visible from the Contiguous United States of America (USA) but require traveling more than one state over from Maryland.
Astronomical events are listed for the current year (2023) plus the following two years (2024 to 2025), the first occurence before the current year (before 2023), and the first occurrence after the two years following the current year (after 2025). Listing the most recent past occurence and next future occurrence for an event provides an estimation of how rare the event is.
Up to three times are given for each event: when the event begins, when the event is at maximum effect, and when the event ends.
