MICA Version 2.0 tabulates a listing of geocentric phenomena, similar to the 'Diary of Phenomena' contained in section A of The Astronomical Almanac. The MICA Diary tabulates the dates and times of the equinoxes and solstices; primary phases of the moon; geocentric conjunctions of the Sun, Moon, and/or planets with the major planets, selected asteroids, and selected bright stars (Aldebaran, Antares, Pollux, Regulus, and Spica); oppositions of the Sun with the major planets and selected asteroids; and greatest elongations of Mercury and Venus. The dates and times are tabulated as well as the object separation, where relevant. Note that the separation, if applicable, is given relative to the latter object. For example, on 15 March 2004, Juno is 16.68° north of the Moon.
