--20cf300515c0b3182404b5f3129a Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable *From the **Nature Moncton Info Line*, courtesy of Nelson Poirier: *** THIS WEEK'S SKY AT A GLANCE * *Some events in the changing sky for Jan 08-14 On Saturday, Jan. 8, the MOON [Lune] goes into its full phase, and will be visible all night, to brighten clear nights. Expect higher high tides and lower low tides. We are nicely into January, and VEGA, the so-called summer star, still shines brightly in the NW, right after dusk, although it's getting quite low. At this time of year the LITTLE DIPPER [Petit Ours] hangs straight down from POLARIS in early evening. On Saturday, Jan. 7, the SUN [Soleil] rose at 8:01 a.m. and sets at 4:50 p.m. On Saturday, Jan. 14, it will rise at 7:58 a.m. and set at 4:58 p.m. **This Week's Planet Roundup **MERCURY *[Mercure], at magnitude -0.4, is lower in the dawn every morning. About 30 minutes before sunrise, look for it just above the southeast horizon. Binoculars help. Don't confuse it with Antares, very far to the upper right. *VENUS *[V=E9nus] at magnitude -4.0, is the brilliant "Evening Star" shinin= g in the southwest during and after twilight. It will continue to move a little higher every week, all winter. *MARS*, at magnitude +\0.0, rises in the east around 11 p.m., far beneath the star *REGULUS*. Mars is brightening rapidly, as it approaches the earth. It shines highest in the south around 5 a.m. *JUPITER*, at magnitude -2.5, shines highest in the south at dusk. It moves lower towards the southwest as evening advances , and sets in the west around 2 a.m. *SATURN *[Saturne], at magnitude +0.7, rises in the east around 2 a.m. and is high in the south at dawn. *SPICA*, a bit fainter at magnitude +1.0 is 6 or 7 degrees to its right or upper right. --=20 Blake Maybank <bmaybank@gmail.com> White's Lake, Nova Scotia My Blog: *CSI: Life* <http://blakemaybank.com/> Organiser, *Maritimes Nature Travel Club* <http://tinyurl.com/naturetravel> ** <http://tinyurl.com/naturetravel>** Author, "*Birding Sites of Nova Scotia* <http://tinyurl.com/birdingns> --20cf300515c0b3182404b5f3129a Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <font size=3D"4"><b>From the </b></font><b><font size=3D"4" color=3D"#0000F= F">Nature Moncton Info Line</font></b><font size=3D"4">, courtesy of Nelson Poirier:<br><br> </font><font size=3D"5" color=3D"#0000FF"><u><b>** THIS WEEK'S SKY AT A GLANCE</b><br> </u></font>=A0<br> <font size=3D"5" color=3D"#0000FF"><b><font size=3D"4">Some events in the c= hanging sky for Jan 08-14<br><br><span style=3D"color:rgb(0,0,0)">On Saturd= ay, Jan. 8, the <span style=3D"color:rgb(51,102,255)">MOON </span>[Lune] go= es into its full phase, and will be visible all night, to brighten clear ni= ghts.
