--bcaec52156bdd8be4604e0ef3c71 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Courtesy of Nelson Poirier: *This Week's Sky at a Glance* *Some night sky sights for July 5 - 13* *Venus*, the 'Evening Star', is very gradually brightening and moving higher above the west-northwest horizon in twilight. Keep watch through the summer and fall. When the stars begin to come out these evenings, the *Big Dipper* hangs straight down from its handle high in the northwest, while the dim, elusive *Little Dipper* stands straight up on its handle from Polaris in the north. This is the time of year when, as twilight fades to dark, the two brightest summer stars, *Arcturus *and *Vega*, shine equally close to the zenith. Arcturus is the one toward the southwest; Vega is toward the east. On Monday, July 8, the *moon *will go into its New Phase meaning we will not see it at all during the night. Expect higher high tides and lower low tides. If you have a dark enough sky, the *Milky Way* forms a magnificent arch high across the eastern sky after nightfall. On Saturday, July 6, the *sun *rose at 5:35 a.m. and will set at 9:12 p.m. giving 15 hours 36 minutes of daylight hours. On Saturday, July 13, the sun will rise at 5:41a.m. and set at 9:08 p.m. to give 15 hours 27 minutes of daylight hours (These values are for Moncton, New Brunswick). *This Week's Planet Roundup* *Mercury *is hidden in the glare of the Sun. *Venus *(magnitude -3.9) is gradually gaining altitude, shining brightly low in the west-northwest in evening twilight. *Mars *and *Jupiter *are deep in the glow of dawn. *Saturn *(magnitude +0.5) glows in the southwest after dusk, with *Spica *1= 2=B0 to its lower right.
