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

This Week's Sky at a Glance Some celestial sights for April 20 =96 28

On Saturday, April 21, the *moon *will go into its New Phase meaning it
will rise and set with the sun not being seen during the night to make for
darker nights. Expect lower low tides and higher high tides.

On Saturday, April 21, the *sun *rose at 6:27 a.m. and will set at 8:17
p.m. On Saturday, April 28, the sun will rise at 6:15 a.m. and will set at
8:26 p.m.

*This Week's Planet Roundup*



*Mercury* (about magnitude +0.1) is deep in the glow of sunrise, having a
very poor dawn apparition just above the eastern horizon.

*Venus* (magnitude =964.7) is blazing the highest and brightest it ever
appears in its 8-year cycle of repeating apparitions. It comes into easy
view high in the west right after sunset, and doesn't set in the northwest
until around midnight.

*Mars* (magnitude =960.2) shines fire-orange high in the south at dusk and
southwest later in the evening. Regulus is 5=B0 to Mars's right or lower
right.

*Jupiter* (magnitude =962.0) is lowering into the sunset far below Venus.

*Saturn* (magnitude +0.2) was at opposition last week, on April 15th. It
shines low in the east-southeast in twilight and highest in the south
around 1 a.m. Sparkling 5=B0 to its right in the evening is *Spica*, slight=
ly
fainter, bluer, and tends to twinkle more.
