*This Week's Sky at a Glance*
*October 26-November 1*

Soon after dark, *Sirius *(the Dog Star) shines almost due south at the
moment.  *Orion *strides to the upper right of Sirius.

On Wednesday, January 1, the *Moon *will go into its New Phase meaning we
will not see it during the night. Expect higher high tides and lower low
tides.

On Saturday, December 28, the *sun *rose at 8:01 a.m. and will set at 4:40
p.m. giving 8 hours 39 minutes of daylight hours.  On Saturday, January 4,
the sun will rise at 8:02 a.m. and set at 4:47 p.m. to give 8 hours 45
minutes of daylight hours (These values are for Moncton, New Brunswick).

*This Week's Planet Roundup *

*Mercury *is hidden in conjunction with the Sun.

*Venus *(about -4.5) is dropping lower in evening twilight every day. Look
southwest.

*Mars *(magnitude +0.8) rises around 1:00 a.m. It's highest in the south
before the first light of dawn.

*Jupiter *(magnitude -2.7)  glares low in the east as twilight fades, then
rises higher in the east all evening. It blazes highest in the middle of
the night.

*Saturn *(magnitude +0.6) is well up the southeast as dawn begins to
brighten. Look for it far to the lower left of Mars and far below brighter
Arcturus.
