"Forensic Astronomy is the practice of using astronomy in legal cases to find the exact lighting conditions existing during a crime. It was used in a case in 1857 by a U.S. President. Lately, forensic astronomers are using their practice to find out all sorts of things. One astronomer has recently figured out just when exactly the Autumn Moon rose over the High Sierra. This [past] Thursday, should you [have] happen[ed] to find yourself at Glacier Point, you [could] see exactly what Ansel [Adams] saw."
