*This Week's Sky at a Glance*
*Some night sky sights for October 4 - 12*

On Friday, October 4 the *Moon *went into its New Phase meaning it will not
be seen at all during the night as it rises and sets with the sun. Expect
higher high tides and lower low tides.

As the stars begin to come out in twilight, *Cassiopeia *is already higher
now in the northeast than the sinking Big Dipper is in the northwest.
Cassiopeia's broad W pattern tilts up during the evening to stand on end.

If you stay up past midnight this weekend, look east-northeast to catch
bright *Jupiter *on the rise.

On Tuesday, October 8, the *Moon *shines above Venus in twilight. The Moon,
Venus, and fainter Antares form a nearly equilateral triangle.

On Friday, October 11 the moon goes into its First-quarter Phase meaning it
will rise at noon and set at midnight Moon.

By Saturday, October 12 *Venus*, which has been approaching dimmer orange
Antares, twinkles to its left. They're now 4=BD=B0 apart in the southwester=
n
twilight.

On Saturday, October 5 the *sun *rose at 7:23 a.m. and will set at 6:53
p.m. giving 11 hours 30 minutes of daylight hours.  On Saturday, October
12, the sun will rise at 7:32 a.m. and set at 6:40 p.m. to give 11 hours 8
minutes of daylight hours (These values are for Moncton, New Brunswick).

*This Week's Planet Roundup *

*Mercury *(magnitude -0.1) remains deep in the glow of sunset. About 30
minutes after sunset, use binoculars to look for it 20=B0 lower right of
Venus. Saturn (magnitude +0.7) glows 6=B0 above Mercury early in the week,
and a similar distance upper right of it by week's end.

*Venus *(magnitude -4.3) shines brightly in the southwest during dusk,
gradually moving higher week by week.

*Mars *(magnitude 1.6) rises around 3 a.m. It glows in the east in early
dawn with Regulus below it.

*Jupiter *(magnitude -2.2) rises in the east-northeast around midnight. It
blazes high in the southeast by early dawn. Some of its moons can be seen
with a birding scope.
