--047d7bdca66ad859b304f921395d Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable *Courtesy of Nelson Poirier:* *This Week's Sky at a Glance* *May 9 - 17* Jupiter shines within the western *Arch of Spring* as twilight fades. The top of the Arch is formed by *Pollux and Castor*, roughly horizontal. To their lower left is Procyon, the left end of the Arch. The right end is formed by *Menkalinen *and then *Capella*. Jupiter is gradually moving toward the Arch's upper left side. On Wednesday, May 14, the *Moon *will go into its Full Phase meaning we will see it all night. Expect higher high tides and lower low tides. *Arcturus *shines high in the southeast these evenings. *Vega *shines much lower in the northeast. On Saturday, May 10, the *sun *rose at 5:53 a.m. and will set at 8:39 p.m. giving 14 hours 45 minutes of daylight hours. On Saturday, May 17, the sun will rise at 5:45a.m. and set at 8:47 p.m. to give 15 hours 2 minutes of daylight hours (These values are for Moncton, New Brunswick). *This Week's Planet Roundup * *Mercury *(about magnitude -1.0) is emerging into better view in evening twilight every day. Look for it low in the west-northwest, very far to the lower right of bright Jupiter, about 40 to 60 minutes after sundown. *Venus *(magnitude -4.1) is the bright "Morning Star" low due east during dawn. *Mars *(magnitude -1.0) shines highest in the south shortly after dark. Far lower left of Mars sparkles *Spica*. *Jupiter *(magnitude -2.0) shines high in the west in twilight, under Pollux and Castor. It sinks during the evening and sets around 1:00 a.m. *Saturn *(magnitude +0.1) is at opposition May 10th. It rises around sunset, shines in the southeast during evening, and stands highest in the south around 1 a.m. Look for Antares to its lower left. *Blake's Pick* *=E2=80=8B=E2=80=8B* * of NASA's Weekly Photos:* =E2=80=8B #1 - *Aurora Dog over Alaska* <http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap140429.html> http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap140429.html #2 - *Orange Sun Sparking <http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap140506.html> * =E2= =80=8B http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap140506.html --=20 Blake Maybank <bmaybank@gmail.com> White's Lake, Nova Scotia My Blog: *CSI: Life* <http://blakemaybank.com> Organiser, *Maritimes Nature Travel Club* <http://tinyurl.com/naturetravel> --047d7bdca66ad859b304f921395d Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><font size=3D"4"><b>Courtesy of Nelson Poirier:</b><br><u><b><br></b></u></font><div style=3D"text-align:center"><= font size=3D"4"><u><b>This Week's Sky at a Glance</b></u></font><br><fo= nt size=3D"4"><u><b>May 9 - 17</b></u></font><br></div><font size=3D"4"><br= > Jupiter shines within the western <span style=3D"color:rgb(0,0,255)"><b>Arc= h of Spring</b></span> as twilight fades.
