Peter gave me a copy of this year's Observer's Handbook back in mid-November and I set about mining it for data right away. The first thing I did with it was to plot the planetary data for this year.

Planet Distance

Planet Size

These two charts are a little hard to read but they have nice patterns in them. So I made line charts for each planet which are included below.

Planet Brightness

Planet Position

Lunar Distance

Mercury

Venus

Mars

Jupiter

Saturn

Uranus

Neptune
