This Week's Sky at a Glance Some sky events for May 4 =96 12



On Sunday, May 6, the *Moon *will go into its Full Phase meaning we will
see it all night on clear nights. Expect higher high tides and lower low
tides. This is the closest and largest full Moon of 2012. The Moon is 8%
closer and larger than average, and 0.16 magnitude brighter than average.
This may be hard to appreciate with the naked eye.



The brightest star very high in the east these evenings is *Arcturus*.

On Saturday, May 12, the moon will go into its Last-quarter Phase meaning
it will rise at midnight and set at noon.

On Saturday, May 5, the *Sun *rose at 6:05 a.m. and sets at 8:35p.m. On
Saturday, May 12, the sun will rise at 5:56 a.m. and set at 8:43 p.m.


*This Week's Planet Roundup*

*Mercury* is lost deep in the glow of sunrise.

*Venus* (magnitude =964.7) is the blazing "Evening Star" high in the west i=
n
twilight, and lower later in the evening. It's still as bright as it ever
gets, but it's beginning its rapid May descent toward the sunset.


*Mars* (magnitude +0.1) shines fire-orange. It's high in the
south-southwest at dusk and lower in the southwest to west later in the
evening.

*Jupiter* is lost in the glare of the Sun.

*Saturn* (magnitude +0.4) shines in the southeast in twilight and highest
in the south around midnight. Saturn=92s rings can be readily seen with a
birding scope on clear nights.
