Ceres the asteroid that was elevated to planetary status by the IAU International Astronomical Union in 2006 has been added to the daily longitude listings in her position between Mars and Jupiter. The new planet Eris whose discovery precipitated the IAU decisions of 2006 moves at most about 3 minutes per month so her position is listed once per month in the Astro Data box along with monthly positions for Chiron Pallas Juno and Vesta. A new formula increases the accuracy of monthly positions of the Galactic Center. Phenomena listed in the Astro Data column are sorted by time as well as by date. Also the planetary ingress data includes R if the planet is retrograde when it ingresses.
