The top of the Dipper =97 the two Pointer stars, pointing left to *Polaris* =97 are now at exactly Polaris's height around 9 p.m. On Monday, February 25, the *Moon *will go into its Full Phase meaning we will see it all night. Expect higher high tides and lower low tides. With spring less than a month away, *Orion *is starting to tip over toward the southwest fairly early in the evening now. The seasons are turning; by 9 p.m. the* Big Dipper* has climbed as high in the northeast as *Cassiopeia *has sunk in the northwest. On Friday, March 1 around midnight, the waning *Moon *rises with *Saturn *glowing a few degrees to its left. The pair remains close for the rest of the night. On Saturday, February 23, the *Sun *rose at 7:07 a.m. and will set at 5:56 p.m. On Saturday, March 2, the sun will rise at 6:55 a.m. and set at 6:06 p.m. (These times are for Moncton, New Brunswick) *This Week's Planet Roundup * *Mercury *is low in the western twilight and rapidly fading: from magnitude +0.8 on February 22nd to +4 on March 1st! Catch it early in the week before it's gone. *Venus *is hidden in the glare of the Sun. *Mars *is lost in the glow of sunset, even lower than Mercury. *Jupiter *(bright at magnitude =962.4) comes into view very high in the sou= th after sunset and dominates the southwest later in the evening. To its left is orange star *Aldebaran*. They set in the west-northwest around 2 a.m. Blake's NASA daily photo (Video!) pick of the week: *The Great Russian Meteor of 2013* <http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130218.html> http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130218.html --=20 Blake Maybank <bmaybank@gmail.com> White's Lake, Nova Scotia My Blog: *CSI: Life* <http://blakemaybank.com> My Photos: *Fine Art America*<http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/blake-maybank.html> Organiser, *Maritimes Nature Travel Club* <http://tinyurl.com/naturetravel> ** <http://tinyurl.com/naturetravel>** --047d7b621afc13110504d65482d4 Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <font size=3D"4">Courtesy of Nelson Poirier:<br><br></font><div style=3D"text-align:center"><font size=3D"4">Th= is Week's Sky at a Glance</font><br><br><u><font size=3D"4">Some night = sky sights for February 22 =96 March 2</font></u><br></div><font size=3D"4"= ><br> At this time of year, the <span style=3D"color:rgb(51,51,255)"><b>Big Dippe= r</b></span> stands on its handle in the northeast during evening.
