--bcaec54fae6222bf2d04ca3a4496 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Courtesy of Nelson Poirier: * This Week's Sky at a Glance* * Some night sky sights for September 21 - 29* On Saturday, September 22 the *Moon *will go into its First Quarter Phase meaning it will rise at noon and set at midnight. Also on Saturday, September 22, *Autumn *begins in the Northern Hemisphere (spring in the Southern Hemisphere) at the equinox, 11:49 a.m. This is when the center of the Sun crosses the equator heading south for the year. The Sun rises and sets nearly at the east and west points on your horizon. With fall here, the bright 'Spring Star' *Arcturus *is moving ever lower in the west after dusk. But it's got a long way to go before disappearing for the year. Look far to its right for the *Big Dipper*, which is now turning around to lie almost upright. High in the northeast after dark this week, the landmark constellation *Cassiopeia *is tilting up to stand almost on end. It's shaped like a flattened W. The brighter side of the W is on top. On Saturday, September 29 the *Moon *will go into its Full Phase (Harvest Moon) and will be visible all night on clear nights. Expect higher high tides and lower low tides. On Saturday, September 22, the *Sun *rose at 7:11 a.m. and sets at 7:20 p.m. On Saturday, September 29, the sun rises at 7:19 a.m. and sets at 7:06 p.m. *This Week's Planet Roundup* *Mercury *is hidden deep in the sunset. *Venus *(magnitude -4.2) rises in darkness around 4 a.m. emerging above the east-northeast horizon two hours before the first glimmer of dawn. By dawn, it's blazing high in the east. *Mars *(magnitude +1.2) remains low in the southwest in evening twilight. Don't confuse it with the twinkling orange star *Antares* well to its left or upper left. *Jupiter *(magnitude -2.5) rises in the east-northeast around 11 p.m. Blake's NASA photo pick of the week: *A Solar Filament Erupts * http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120917.html -- Blake Maybank <bmaybank@gmail.com> White's Lake, Nova Scotia My Blog: *CSI: Life* <http://blakemaybank.com> Organiser, *Maritimes Nature Travel Club* <http://tinyurl.com/naturetravel> ** <http://tinyurl.com/naturetravel>** Author, "*Birding Sites of Nova Scotia* <http://tinyurl.com/birdingns> --bcaec54fae6222bf2d04ca3a4496 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <font size=3D"4">Courtesy of Nelson Poirier:<br><font size=3D"4"><u><b><br>This Week's Sky at a Glance</b><= /u></font><br><b><br>Some night sky sights for September 21 - 29</b><br><br= >On Saturday, September 22 the <span style=3D"color:rgb(51,51,255)"><b>Moon= </b></span>will go into its First Quarter Phase meaning it will rise at no= on and set at midnight.<br> <br>Also on Saturday, September 22, <span style=3D"color:rgb(51,51,255)"><b= >Autumn </b></span>begins in the Northern Hemisphere (spring in the Souther= n Hemisphere) at the equinox, 11:49 a.m. This is when the center of the Sun= crosses the equator heading south for the year.
