This Week's Sky at a Glance *Some night sky sights for May 25 =96 June 2*

Bright *Arcturus *shines southeast of the zenith after dark. *Vega*,
equally bright, shines less high in the east-northeast.



By midnight the *Summer Triangle* is up in the east. Its top corner is *Veg=
a
*: the brightest star in the eastern sky. *Deneb *is the brightest star to
Vega's lower left. Look for *Altair *substantially farther to Venus's lower
right.



On Monday, May 28, the *Moon *will go into its First-quarter Phase meaning
it will rise at noon and set at midnight.

On Saturday, May 26, the *Sun *rose at 5:42 a.m. and will set at 8:59 p.m.
On Saturday, June 2, the sun will rise at 5:31 a.m. and set at 9:04 p.m.

*This Week's Planet Roundup*

*Mercury* is buried in the glare of the Sun.

*Venus* (about magnitude =964.2 and fading) is now at the peak of its eveni=
ng
drama in the west-northwest sky dropping faster into the bright sunset
every day.



*Mars* (magnitude +0.3) shines orange high in the south-southwest as
twilight fades and lower in the southwest to west later in the evening.
Spot Regulus 13=B0 to 15=B0 to Mars's lower right.

*Jupiter* is buried deep in the sunrise.

*Saturn* (magnitude +0.5) shines high in the south at nightfall. Below it
by nearly 5=B0 is Spica, fainter and bluer. They set in the west before daw=
n.
Saturn=92s rings are still very visible in a birding scope on clear nights.
