This Week's Sky at a Glance *Some night sky sights for June 8 =96 16*



With June well under way, the *Big Dipper* has swung around to hang down by
its handle high in the northwest during evening.



After nightfall, *Vega *is the brightest star shining on the eastern side
of the sky. *Deneb *is the brightest to its lower left. Look for
*Altair *farther
to Vega's lower right, still rather low. These three form the big *Summer
Triangle*.



On Monday, June 11 the *Moon *will go into its Last Quarter Phase meaning
it will rise at midnight and set at noon.



The two brightest stars of late spring and summer are orange *Arcturus*,
now almost overhead toward the south or southwest after dark, and Vega, as
mentioned, shining partway up the eastern sky.



On Saturday, June 9, the *Sun *rose at 5:35 a.m. and set at 9:10 p.m. On
Saturday, June 16, the sun will rise at 5:34 a.m. and set at 9:13 p.m.

*
This Week's Planet Roundup*


**

*Mercury* (about magnitude =960.8) is very low in the west-northwest about =
30
or 40 minutes after sundown.

*Venus*, having crossed the Sun from east to west during its transit on
June 5th, is now very deep in the brightest glow of dawn. Don't confuse
Venus with Jupiter, which is less low in the dawn and somewhat to the
right.

*Mars* (magnitude +0.6) shines orange in the southwest at dusk and lower in
the west as evening grows late.

*Jupiter* is coming into view deep in the glow of sunrise.

*Saturn* (magnitude +0.6) shines high in the south as twilight fades. Below
it by 5=B0 is *Spica*. Later after dark they move to the southwest.
