On Friday, January 4, the moon went into its Last Quarter Phase meaning = it will rise at midnight and set at noon.=20 At this coldest time of the year, Sirius rises around 8 p.m. Orion's = three-star Belt points down almost to Sirius's rising place; watch for = it there. Once Sirius is up, it twinkles slowly and deeply through the = thick layers of low atmosphere, then faster and more shallowly as it = gains altitude. Its flashes of colour also speed up and blend into = shimmering white as the star climbs to shine through thinner air. On Friday, January 11 the moon will go into its New Phase meaning it = will not be seen during the night. Expect higher high tides and lower = low tides. On Saturday, January 5, the sun rose at 8:02 a.m. and will set at 4:55 = p.m. On Saturday, January 12, the sun will rise at 8:00 a.m. and set at = 5:03 p.m. This Week's Planet Roundup=20 Mercury is hidden in the glare of the Sun.=20 Venus (magnitude =E2=80=933.9) appears lower in the dawn each morning. = Look for it above the southeast horizon about 45 minutes before sunrise. = Mars (magnitude +1.2) still glimmers low in the southwest in the fading = glow of sunset. =20 Jupiter (magnitude =E2=80=932.7) is the first "star" to come out in the = eastern sky after sundown. It climbs to dominate the high southeastern = sky after dark, with orange Aldebaran below it. Jupiter passes highest = in the south around 10 p.m. local time. It=E2=80=99s convenient timing = to train you birding scope on it to see usually four of its moons.=20 Saturn (magnitude +0.6) rises in the east-southeast around 3 a.m. By the = beginning of dawn it's fairly high in the southeast. That's the best = time to get your telescope on it. Saturn's rings are tilted 19=C2=B0 to = our line of sight, the widest open they've been in seven years.=20 ------=_NextPart_000_000F_01CDEABB.6DA4C030 Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><HEAD></HEAD> <BODY dir=3Dltr> <DIV dir=3Dltr> <DIV style=3D"FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> <P style=3D"LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 7.5pt 0cm 3.75pt; = mso-outline-level: 1"=20 class=3DMsoNormal><B><SPAN=20 style=3D"FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; = mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-language: en-ca"><FONT=20 face=3D"Times New Roman"><FONT style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 24pt">This Week's Sky = at a=20 Glance</FONT></FONT></SPAN></B></P> <P style=3D"LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt; = mso-outline-level: 4"=20 class=3DMsoNormal><B><SPAN=20 style=3D"FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; = mso-fareast-language: en-ca"><FONT=20 face=3D"Times New Roman">Some night sky sights for January 4 =E2=80=93=20 12</FONT></SPAN></B></P> <P style=3D"LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" = class=3DMsoNormal><SPAN=20 style=3D"FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; = mso-fareast-language: en-ca"><FONT=20 face=3D"Times New Roman"></FONT></SPAN> </P> <P style=3D"LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" = class=3DMsoNormal><FONT=20 face=3D"Times New Roman"><SPAN=20 style=3D"FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; = mso-fareast-language: en-ca; mso-hansi-font-family: = symbol">Friday</SPAN><SPAN=20 style=3D"FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; = mso-fareast-language: en-ca">=20 morning, January 4 was the latest sunrise of the year.</SPAN></FONT></P> <P style=3D"LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" = class=3DMsoNormal><SPAN=20 style=3D"FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; = mso-fareast-language: en-ca"><SPAN=20 style=3D"mso-spacerun: yes"><FONT=20 face=3D"Times New Roman"></FONT></SPAN></SPAN> </P> <P style=3D"LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" = class=3DMsoNormal><FONT=20 face=3D"Times New Roman"><SPAN=20 style=3D"FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; = mso-fareast-language: en-ca; mso-hansi-font-family: symbol">On=20 Friday, January 4, the moon went into its Last Quarter Phase meaning it = will=20 rise at midnight and set at noon.</SPAN><SPAN=20 style=3D"FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; = mso-fareast-language: en-ca">=20 </SPAN></FONT></P> <P style=3D"LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" = class=3DMsoNormal><SPAN=20 style=3D"FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; = mso-fareast-language: en-ca; mso-hansi-font-family: symbol"><FONT=20 face=3D"Times New Roman"></FONT></SPAN> </P> <P style=3D"LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" = class=3DMsoNormal><SPAN=20 style=3D"FONT-FAMILY: ; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; = mso-fareast-language: en-ca"><FONT=20 face=3D"Times New Roman">At this coldest time of the year, Sirius rises = around 8=20 p.m. Orion's three-star Belt points down almost to Sirius's rising = place; watch=20 for it there.
