will meaning that we will see it all night on clear nights. Expect higher
high tides and lower low tides. This Easter weekend should be good time to
check the Petitcodiac River Tidal Bore at Bore Park. A bore arrival
schedule has already been distributed to Nature Moncton members on the
daily mailing list. n Friday, Apeil 16 the MOON [Lune] went into its Full
Phase meaning it will meaning that we will see it all night on clear nights=
.
On Friday, April 13, the Moon will go into its last quarter phase, meaning
that it will not rise until midnight and will set at noon.
The BIG DIPPER [Grande Ourse], high in the NE, dumps water into the dim
LITTLE DIPPER during evening at this time of year.
On Saturday, April 7, the SUN [Soleil] rose at 6:51 a.m. and will set at
7:59 p.m. On Saturday, March 31, it rose at 7:04 a.m. and will set at 7:50

This Week's Planet Roundup:*
MERCURY [Mercure] is deep in the glow of sunrise.
VENUS [V=E9nus], at magnitude -4.6, climbs very high and ever more brillian=
t
in the west during and after twilight. It doesn't set now until 2.5 hours
after dark. This just about as high and bright as Venus ever becomes in its
8-year cycle of apparitions.
MARS, at magnitude -0.7, shines bright fire-orange high in the south-east
at nightfall, and la highest in the south by mid-evening. REGULUS is just
4.5=B0 to the right of Mars, in the evening.
JUPITER is sinking ever lower, towards the sunset, far below Venus. Jupiter
appears increasingly fuzzy at 14=B0 below it on March 30th and 19=B0 below=
it
on April 6th. These are the two brightest celestial objects after the Sun
and Moon, being magnitudes -4.5 and -2.1 right now, respectively.
SATURN [Saturne]. at magnitude +0.2, is in opposition [to the sun] on April
15. This week it rises around sunset and stands highest in the south
around 2 a.m. Shining 5.5=B0 to Saturn's right is SPICA, fainter and bluer=
.
Saturn's rings continue to be clearly visible, using a birding scope on
clear nights.
