** THIS WEEK'S SKY AT A GLANCE Some events in the changing sky for Nov. 6-12 DAYLIGHT-SAVING TIME ENDS in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Clocks "fall= =20 back" an hour. On Thursday, Nov. 10, the MOON [Lune] will go into its Full Phase meaning= =20 we will see it all night on clear nights. Expect higher high tides and=20 lower low tides. On Saturday, November 5, the SUN [Soleil] rose at 8:05 a.m. and sets at= =20 6:00 p.m. On Saturday, November 12, the sun will rise at 7:15 a.m. and set= =20 at 4:51 p.m. The apparent surprising change is a result of the time change= . This Week's Planet Roundup MERCURY [Mercure] and VENUS [V=E9nus], at magnitudes -0.3 and -3.8, =20 respectively, remain 2 degrees apart just above the southwest horizon in b= right=20 twilight. Venus is on top; Mercury, much fainter, is below it. Early in th= e=20 week look to their left to try to spot the twinkly star ANTARES. On Novembe= r=20 10th all three line up in a diagonal row with Antares on the bottom, if yo= u=20 can see that low in bright twilight. Binoculars and especially a birding= =20 scope help. MARS, at magnitude +1.0, rises around 2 a.m. By the beginning of dawn Mars = =20 is high in the east-southeast. JUPITER, at magnitude -2.9, continues blazing unusually brightly now that= =20 it's just past opposition. It's low in the east-northeast in twilight,=20 higher in the east to southeast through the evening, and stands highest in= the=20 south by the middle of the night. SATURN [Saturne], at magnitude +0.7, is low in the east as dawn begins, a = =20 little higher every morning. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= - - Forwarded, with permission, by: Blake Maybank maybank@ns.sympatico.ca _http://www.flickr.com/photos/blakemaybank/ _ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/blakemaybank/) 902-852-2077 --part1_497be.e58cad0.3be6f2eb_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3DISO-8859-1" http-equiv=3DContent-Type= > <META name=3DGENERATOR content=3D"MSHTML 8.00.7601.17699"></HEAD> <BODY style=3D"FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 10pt" id=3Dro= le_body=20 bottomMargin=3D7 leftMargin=3D7 rightMargin=3D7 topMargin=3D7><FONT id=3Dro= le_document=20 color=3D#000000 size=3D2 face=3DArial> <DIV>Good info as always from Blake.
