*This Week's Sky at a Glance*
*Some night sky sights for September 28 - October 6*

Look high in the northeast after dark this week for the landmark autumn
constellation *Cassiopeia*, shaped like a flattened W. It's tilting up to
stand almost on end.

On Sunday, September 30, the *Moon* will go into its Full Phase (Harvest
Moon) meaning we will see it all night. Expect higher high tides and lower
low tides.
*
Altair* is the bright star high in the south at nightfall this week.  The
star *Vega* remains very high in the west after nightfall this week.

On Saturday, September 29, the sun will rose at 7:19 a.m. and set at 7:06
p.m. On Saturday, October 6, the sun will rise at 7:28 a.m. and set at 6:53
p.m.
*
*
*This Week's Planet Roundup*

*Mercury* is hidden deep in the sunset.

*Venus *(magnitude -4.1) rises in darkness around 5 a.m. emerging above the
east-northeast horizon two hours before the first glimmer of dawn. By dawn
its 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* to its left or
upper left. They're nearly the same brightness.

*Jupiter *(magnitude -2.5) rises in the east-northeast around 11 p.m.

*Saturn *(magnitude +0.7) is becoming lost deep in the sunset.
