*This Week's Sky at a Glance*
*
Some night sky sights for August 3 - 11*

By mid-evening this week, W-shaped *Cassiopeia *rises as high in the
north-northeast as the bowl of the Big Dipper has sunk in the
north-northwest.

 On Thursday, August 9, the *Moon *will go into its Last-quarter Phase
meaning it will rise at midnight and set at noon.

On Saturday night, August 11, the *Perseid meteor shower* should be at its
best late night. Find a dark spot with a wide-open view of the sky
overhead, bundle up against the late-night chill, lie back in a lounge
chair, watch the sky and be patient. After midnight you may see a meteor a
minute on average; fewer earlier.

On Saturday, August 4, the *Sun *rose at 6:11 a.m. and set at 8:46 p.m. On
Saturday, August 11, the sun will rise at 6:20 a.m. and sets at 8:36 p.m.

*This Week's Planet Roundup *

*Mercury *is still deep in the glow of sunrise.

*Venus *and *Jupiter *(magnitudes -4.5 and -2.2) shine dramatically in the
east before and during dawn. They've widened to about 18=B0 apart now;
Jupiter is the higher one.

*Mars *and *Saturn *(magnitudes +1.1 and +0.8, respectively) are low in the
west-southwest at dusk, forming a triangle with the similarly bright star *
Spica*.
