*This Week's Sky at a Glance* *Some night sky sights for September 7 =96 15=
*



This is the time of year when the bright star *Vega *shines closest to the
zenith as the stars come out at dusk.



As the Great Square of Pegasus rises high in the east these evenings, the *=
Big
Dipper* is swinging down low in the northwest as if carrying water. To see
the Dipper at its very lowest due north, you'll have to stay up till 3 a.m.




On Saturday, September 8, the *Moon *will go into Last Quarter Phase
meaning it will rise at midnight and set at noon.



On Saturday, September 8, the *Sun *rose at 6:54 a.m. and will set at 7:47
p.m. On Saturday, September 15, the sun will rise at 7:02 a.m. and set at
7:33 p.m.

*
This Week's Planet Roundup*

*Mercury* is hidden in the glare of the Sun.

*Venus* (magnitude =964.3) rises in darkness around 4 a.m. emerging above t=
he
east-northeast horizon a good two hours before the first glimmer of dawn.
By early dawn it's blazing high in the east.

*Mars* and *Saturn* (magnitudes +1.2 and +0.8) are low in the southwest and
west-southwest, respectively, as evening twilight fades. This week they
widen from 13=B0 to 17=B0 apart. Look for them well to the lower left of
brighter *Arcturus *in the west.


*Jupiter* (magnitude =962.4) rises in the east-northeast around midnight.
