Expect higher high=20 tides and lower low tides. It's also a good time=20 to be checking out the tidal bore on the Petitcodiac River. On Friday, Dec. 2, the moon will enter its=20 First-quarter Phase. The moon will then rise at noon and set at midnight. With winter approaching, bright star ORION rises=20 into good view in the east-southeast by 9:00 p.m. On Saturday, Nov. 26, the SUN [Soleil] rose at=20 7:35 a.m. and sets at 4:38 p.m. On Saturday, Dec.=20 3, the sun will rise at 7:43 a.m. and set at 4:35 p.m. This Week's Planet Roundup MERCURY [Mercure] is dropping out of sight deep in the sunset. VENUS [V=E9nus], at magnitude -3.9, is becoming=20 higher and easier to see in the southwest after=20 sunset. As of this week it will stay above the=20 horizon until the end of twilight. Venus is on=20 its way up to a grand, high apparition as the "Evening Star" all winter. MARS, at magnitude +0.8, rises around midnight.=20 It's highest in the south by the beginning of=20 dawn. It's near the star REGULUS, which is a=20 little fainter at magnitude +1.3 and slightly blue-white. JUPITER, at magnitude -2.8, blazes high in the=20 east at dusk and highest in the south by late evening. SATURN [Saturne], at magnitude +0.8, is fairly=20 low in the east-southeast as dawn begins, a=20 little higher each morning. The star SPICA=20 (magnitude +1.0) sparkles 4=B0 to its right.
