  From the Nature Moncton Info Line, courtesy of Nelson Poirier:

  ** THIS WEEK'S SKY AT A GLANCE
  =20
  Some events in the changing sky for Feb 04-11

  On Tuesday, Jan. 31, the MOON [Lune] goes into its full phase, meaning =
that it will be visible all night, to give potentially brilliant nights =
with reflection from fresh snow. Expect higher high tide and lower low =
tides.

  On Saturday, Feb. 4, the SUN [Soleil] rose at 7:39 a.m. and will set =
at 5:28 p.m. On Saturday, Feb. 11, it will rise at 7:29 a.m. and set at =
5:39 p.m. Maybe that's what's getting some birds thinking spring.=20

  This Week's Planet Roundup

  MERCURY [Mercure] is out of sight, in conjunction with the sun.

  VENUS [V=E9nus] at magnitude -4.1, is the brilliant "Evening Star" =
shining in the southwest during and after dusk. It doesn't set until =
about two hours after dark. Venus will continue to appear a bit brighter =
and stay up later all winter.=20

  MARS, at magnitude -0.7, rises in the east around 9 p.m. Mars is =
brightening rapidly as it approaches the earth. It shines highest in the =
south around 3 a.m.=20

  JUPITER, at magnitude -2.3, shines high in the SSW at dusk, moves =
lower towards the southwest as evening advances, and sets in the west =
around midnight.=20

  SATURN [Saturne], at magnitude +0.6, rises in the east around midnight =
and is highest in the south before dawn. SPICA, a bit fainter at =
magnitude +1.0 is 7 degrees to its right or upper right. Saturn's rings =
are now tilted a generous 15 degrees from our line of sight. This is the =
most open the rings have appeared since 2007; it's an excellent time to =
aim a birding scope at Satun, to clearly see its rings on a clear night. =
