Hi Cookie and all,

As they say confession is good for the soul.

The story of the Titan transits is that Ken, Peter and me expected them to occur but within our publishing deadline for Astronomy 2009 we couldn't find a source for predictions or even how observable Titan transits are. (There is no shortage of mutual event info) Perhaps we should have mentioned this at least as a possibility, perhaps on page 23, instead of saying nothing.

I hope our loyal readers can forgive us on this one.

I agree with Mike, I see no reason why some wouldn't be visible from Australia.

Regards

Glenn
