This Week's Sky at a Glance Some sky items for May 18 =96 26
*Arcturus *is the brightest star high in the southeast these evenings.
On Sunday, May 20, the moon will go into its New Phase meaning it will rise
and set with the sun so we will not see it during the night. Expect higher
high tides and lower low tides. It will be a great weekend to check out the
Petitcodiac River Tidal Bore. (Or the Salmon River bore in Truro, Nova
Scotia).
On Saturday, May 19, the sun rose at 5:48 a.m. and will set at 8:51 p.m. On
Saturday, May 26, the sun will rise at 5:42 a.m. and set at 8:59 p.m.
*This Week's Planet Roundup*
*Mercury* is buried in the glare of the Sun.
*Venus* (magnitude =964.5) is the bright "Evening Star" in the west-northwe=
st
in twilight. It's dropping lower every day.
*Mars* (magnitude +0.3) shines orange high in the south-southwest at dusk
and lower in the southwest to west later in the evening. Spot Regulus 10=B0
or 12=B0 to Mars's right in twilight and to its lower right later. They're
moving farther apart daily.
*Jupiter* is buried now deep in the glow of sunrise.
*Saturn* (magnitude +0.3) shines high in the south after dark. Spica,
fainter and bluer, is nearly 5=B0 to Saturn's lower right early in the
evening and directly below it later. Check out Saturn=92s rings with a
birding scope on clear nights.
