23 September 2018
- 01:2501:25, 23 September 2018 diff hist +686 m Saturn Updated albedo values and added citations.
20 September 2018
- 18:3818:38, 20 September 2018 diff hist +735 m Neptune Updated albedo values. Added citations to journal articles.
- 18:3018:30, 20 September 2018 diff hist +728 m Uranus Updated albedo values and added journal article citations.
- 17:1617:16, 20 September 2018 diff hist +644 m Jupiter Updated albedo values and added citations.
- 17:0017:00, 20 September 2018 diff hist +636 m Venus Updated albedo values and citations.
- 16:5416:54, 20 September 2018 diff hist +155 m Mercury (planet) Updated the Bond albedo value.
- 16:0416:04, 20 September 2018 diff hist +205 m Albedo Adding Earth and Mars Bond albedos. Note: these are from "Planet" Fact Sheets which do not contain specific references for the albedo values they quote. So, they should be replaced when the original journal articles are located.
17 September 2018
- 01:2401:24, 17 September 2018 diff hist +2,604 m Albedo Added table of planetary albedos
16 September 2018
- 14:2614:26, 16 September 2018 diff hist +645 m Absolute magnitude Added a table with the absolute magnitudes of the planets using values from a newly published journal article.
13 September 2018
- 20:1620:16, 13 September 2018 diff hist −685 m Apparent magnitude Updated apparent planetary magnitudes with values from a peer-reviewed journal article. Those formulas will be used to predict magnitudes for future issues of The Astronomical Almanac published by the U.S. Naval Observatory and Her Majesty’s Nautical Almanac Office. The equations were solved at daily intervals over long periods of time in order to determine the magnitude extremes. The paper can be located at can be located at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ascom.2018.08.002.
- 18:1418:14, 13 September 2018 diff hist −137 m Mercury (planet) In the 'observation' section, the mean apparent magnitude and its standard deviation were added. One reference, "ephemeris", was removed because it is not used for the values being cited.
- 17:5617:56, 13 September 2018 diff hist +268 m Neptune In the ‘observation’ section, added the mean apparent magnitude and its standard deviation. Also added a reference for the secular brightness increase.
- 17:4017:40, 13 September 2018 diff hist +432 m Uranus In the ‘visibility’ section, added the mean apparent magnitude and its standard deviation. Explained that the apparent brightness depends in part on the latitudes being illuminated from the Sun and viewed from the Earth.
- 17:1117:11, 13 September 2018 diff hist +398 m Saturn In the ‘observation’ section, replaced the qualitative statement about magnitude being ‘usually between +1 and 0’ with the actual mean, standard deviation, brightest and faintest. Also explained that most of the variation is due to the inclination of the ring system.
- 16:5116:51, 13 September 2018 diff hist +105 m Jupiter In the 'observation' section, added the mean magnitude and its standard deviation.
