- Does anyone know if the long-awaited new edition of the "Explanatory
- Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac" has been published yet?
-
- The reason I ask is that I heard it was due to be published towards the end
- of last year, but HMSO (The Astronomical Almanac publishers in the UK)
- claim that their computer just shows the 1984 edition as "out of print"
- with no replacement scheduled.
-
- I'd appreciate any information that anyone might have on this. I find the
- old edition of the "Explanatory Supplement" an invaluable reference source,
- but it *is* now very out of date, and an up-to-date edition would be useful
- to have.
-
- Thank you,
-
- Chris
