+Mosaica Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I've tried some various keyword searches and come up with several, a few of which I've been able to do, and I'm interested in any others. The ones I've found listed are: Starry, Starry Night (GC68FE) Cache on the Moon (GCHM43) Astronomical Trigonometry (GCGX5F) I placed my first cache recently, and it's a little influenced by astronomy as well: Charlie is messier! (GCKTM6) Do you know of any nifty astronomy-themed caches? Share! ../Mosaica Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 (edited) The Observatory Quest locationless cache and RJFerret's Cacnhe On the Moon come to mind. Edited November 19, 2004 by briansnat Quote Link to comment

+CYBret Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 We used to have a series of night caches around here based on different constellations. You would walk to the posted coordinates and find a tree with 4 of those reflective dots in it (one on each side). From there you would shine your light and find the trail that would eventually lead you to a tree with reflective dots in the pattern of a constellation (Andromeda, Big Dipper, Cassiopea). Very cool caches to find. Bret Quote Link to comment
+Metaphor Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 There are seven of these in Maryland, but I've yet to do one. Solar SystemTour by Indy-Md: "The size of the Solar System has been scaled down to fit within the borders of Maryland, and the individual ‘planet’ caches have been spaced out accordingly. The scale is 1 Astronomical Unit (average distance between Earth and the Sun, or 93,000,000 miles) equivalent to 3.5 miles. The tour starts with the nearest star to our planet: the Sun. If you do the tour, mark the cache locations on a map of Maryland and see just how vast the Solar System really is. This will hopefully give you a feel for why it takes so long for spacecraft to travel from Earth to anywhere in our Solar System." Quote Link to comment

+Snoogans Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 This is just a beautiful cache page: The Transit of Venus. I think it was inspired by this page. Quote Link to comment
Dinoprophet Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Observation Deck is one of the oldest caches in Michigan. It's also the biggest cache I've seen, at about 30 gallons or so. It's on the grounds of the McMath-Hulbert observatory. Before finding the cache there, I'd driven within a half-mile of it hundreds of times in my life without knowing it was there.
