The bright star VEGA crosses near the zenith late these evenings. On Saturday, July 30, the MOON [Lune] will go=20 into its New Phase, which means we will not see=20 the moon at all during the night as it rises and=20 sets with the sun. Expect higher high tides and=20 lower low tides, which now will be becoming more=20 significant as shorebird watching season gets underway. On Saturday, July 23, SUNRISE [lever de soleil]=20 was at 5:57 and SUNSET [coucher de soleil] at=20 21:01. On Saturday, July 30, sunrise will be at=20 6:05 and sunset at 20:53. The change is starting to be a bit more= noticeable. This Week's Planet Roundup: MERCURY [Mercure] fades from magnitude +0.4 to=20 +1.0 this week as it sinks even lower toward the=20 sunset horizon. Use binoculars to look for it=20 very low in the west-northwest in bright twilight=20 -- and to spot the twinkling star REGULUS,=20 slightly fainter, nearby. Mercury and Regulus=20 pass 3=B0 from each other on July 26th. VENUS [V=E9nus] is hidden in the sunrise. MARS, at magnitude +1.4, can be found in the=20 east-northeast as dawn begins to brighten. Look=20 for it very far to the lower left of brilliant Jupiter. JUPITER, at bright magnitude -2.4, rises in the=20 east around 1 am. By dawn Jupiter shines high in the southeast.
