Terms of Service
These terms govern use of the LocalJournalHome website. By browsing the site you agree to the points set out below.
Purpose of the content
The articles on this site are general educational reading about night-sky observation. They are provided for information only and are not professional, navigational or safety advice. Observers remain responsible for their own decisions, including the choice of location and any travel undertaken to reach darker skies.
Accuracy
The content is prepared carefully and reviewed against public references, but astronomy involves figures that change over time, such as planetary positions and event dates. LocalJournalHome makes no warranty that every detail is current at the moment of reading and encourages readers to confirm time-sensitive information against up-to-date almanacs.
Intellectual property
The written text and site design are the work of LocalJournalHome. Photographs are reproduced from Wikimedia Commons and remain the property of their respective contributors under the licenses stated on Commons. You may quote short passages of the text with attribution; reproduction of whole articles requires permission.
External links
Links to outside organisations, such as the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada and NASA Science, are offered for reference. LocalJournalHome does not control and is not responsible for the content of those external sites.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, LocalJournalHome is not liable for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, the information presented here. The site is provided on an as-is basis.
