--047d7b6dc212bebc8b04e04b37b8 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Courtesy of Nelson Poirier, who is hoping for some clear nights: *This Week's Sky at a Glance* *Some night sky sights for June 28 - July 6* On Sunday, June 30, the *Moon *will go into its Last-quarter Phase meaning it will rise at noon and set at midnight. The *Big Dipper*, still high in the northwest, is moving a little lower now and starting to dip around toward the right. Follow the curve of its handle a little more than a Dipper-length left, and you land on bright *Arcturus *= high in the southwest. This is the time of year when, after dark, the dim *Little Dipper* floats straight upward from *Polaris *(the end of its handle) - like a helium balloon on a string. The two brightest stars of summer, *Vega *and *Arcturus*, are high overhead toward the east and southwest, respectively. Far below Arcturus are the planet *Saturn *and, to its lower right, *Spica*. Nearly that high in the southeast is the orange-red supergiant *Antares*. On Saturday, June 29, the *sun *rose at 5:31 a.m. and will set at 9:15 p.m. giving 15 hours 44 minutes of daylight hours. On Saturday, July 6, the sun will rise at 5:35 a.m. and set at 9:12 p.m. to give 15 hours 36 minutes of daylight hours (These values are for Moncton, New Brunswick). *This Week's Planet Roundup* *Mercury *is lost in the glare of the Sun. *Venus *(magnitude -3.8) is gaining altitude very gradually, low in the west-northwest in evening twilight. *Mars *and *Jupiter *are hidden in the glow of sunrise. *Saturn *(magnitude +0.5) glows in the southwest after dark with slightly dimmer Spica 12=B0 to its lower right.
