This Week's Sky at a Glance Some sky highlights for May 11 =96 19

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

This is the time of year when the *Big Dipper* floats upside down at its
highest due north when the stars come out. Far below it is *Polaris*. Far
below Polaris, near  is W-shaped *Cassiopeia*.



The *Summer Triangle* is fully up in the east by about midnight. Its top
star is *Vega*, the brightest in the eastern sky. About two fist-widths to
Vega's lower left is *Deneb*. Farther to Vega's lower right is *Altair*. If
you have a dark sky, you'll see that the *Milky Way* runs through it.

*Arcturus *is the brightest star high in the southeast these evenings.

On Saturday, May 12 the *sun *rose at 5:56 a.m. and will set at 8:43 p.m.
On Saturday, May 19, the sun will rise at 5:48 a.m. and set at 8:51 p.m.



*This Week's Planet Roundup*

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

*Venus* (magnitude =964.7) blazes as the "Evening Star" in the west-northwe=
st
in twilight. It's dropping lower every day now.

*Mars* (magnitude +0.2) 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 in conjunction behind the Sun.

*Saturn* (magnitude +0.4) shines in the southeast in twilight and highest
in the south around midnight. The star 5=B0 to Saturn's lower right in the
evening is *Spica*, slightly fainter and bluer.
