*This Week's Sky at a Glance*
*Some night sky sights for June 14 - 22*

With the *solstice *approaching, watch the sunset point on your horizon day
by day.

On Sunday, June 16, the *moon *will go into its First-quarter phase meaning
it will rise at noon and set at midnight.

Look lower left of the Moon at dusk on Thursday, June 20, by almost two
fists at arm's lengths, for orange-red *Antares*.

Thursday night, June 20 will be the *shortest night of the year* in the
Northern Hemisphere. The solstice is at 2:04 a.m., June 21.

Now that it's summer, the *Summer Triangle* is high in full glory after
dusk. Its top star is bright *Vega *high in the east. The brightest star to
Vega's lower left is *Deneb*. Farther to Vega's lower right is *Altair*.
The Summer Triangle is big: 35=B0 long.

On Saturday, June 15, the *sun *rose at 5:27 a.m. and will set at 9:12 p.m.
giving 15 hours 45 minutes of daylight hours.  On Saturday, June 22, the
sun will rise at 5:28 a.m. and set at 9:14 p.m. to give 15 hours 46 minutes
of daylight hours (These values are for Moncton, New Brunswick).

*This Week's Planet Roundup*

*Venus *(magnitude - 3.8) is gaining altitude very gradually, low in
evening twilight. Look for it in the west-northwest. *Mercury *has closed
to just 2=B0 or 3=B0 from Venus, but Mercury is fading fast: from magnitude
+0.6 on the 15th to +1.6 on the 22nd. Look for it to Venus's upper left
early in the week, directly left around June 16th and 17th and below Venus
by the 20th.

*Mars *and *Jupiter *are hidden in the glare of the Sun.

*Saturn *(magnitude +0.4) glows in the south to southwest during evening,
with slightly dimmer Spica 12=B0 to its right or lower right. Its rings can
be viewed on clear nights with a birding scope.
