The Almanac is both a Solar and a Lunar calendar. However, it is much more than an ordinary calendar. Each monthly grid includes the phases of the Moon, the rise and set times of the Sun and Moon, planetary phenomena, meteor activity, solstices and equinoxes, public and school holidays, religious festivals, historical astronomical events, a Maori calendar and ancient star lore pertaining to each month.

The Almanac contains 34 spectacular full colour images of celestial objects. This 1918 Almanac, month by month, takes you on a journey through the Solar System. We travel from the Sun to the distant realm of the comets – the Kuiper Belt. In addition there are 10 full colour star charts, a chart of the Moon, and a chart showing the rise and set times of the Sun and planets. An information page explains how to use the Almanac and charts.

The retail price of the Almanac is $24. For Phoenix Society members it is just $18 so order yours today. Special thanks to Richard Hall, Charlotte Hird and Kay Leather for making it all happen.
