--047d7b1635d9becf5104e4c98d30 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 August 23 - 31* Bright *Vega *shines highest overhead after dark this week. On Wednesday, August 28 the *moon *will go into its Last-quarter Phase meaning it will rise at midnight and set at noon. By about 10 p.m. now, W-shaped *Cassiopeia *has risen as high in the northeast as the *Big Dipper* is in the northwest. Midway between them, and a bit higher, is *Polaris*. Cassiopeia will grow more ascendant over the Dipper in the coming weeks and months as the seasons turn. On Saturday, August 24 the *sun *rose at 6:30 a.m. and will set at 8:12 p.m. giving 13 hours 42 minutes of daylight hours. On Saturday, August 31, the sun will rise at 6:49 a.m. and set at 7:59 p.m. to give 13 hours 20 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 -4.0) shines brightly low in the west-southwest in evening twilight, far below Arcturus. Look to its left for much fainter Spica, and upper left of Spica for Saturn. *Mars and Jupiter* shine in the east before and during dawn. Jupiter is the highest and brightest (magnitude -2.0). Look for faint Mars (magnitude +1.6) increasingly far to Jupiter's lower left. *Saturn *(magnitude +0.7,) glows in the southwest as twilight fades, with Spica 13=B0 to its lower right and bright Venus.
