This Week's Sky at a Glance Some night sky sights for July 20 =96 28
*Arcturus* is the brightest star high in the west after dark at this time
of year. It and *Vega*, almost overhead, are the two leading stars of
summer. Look off to the right of Arcturus, in the northwest, to spot the
Big Dipper.

On Thursday, July 26, the moon will go into its First Quarter Phase meaning
it will rise at noon and set at midnight.

On Saturday, July 21, the sun rose at 5:56 a.m. and will set at 9:02 p.m.
On Saturday, July 28, the sun will rise at 6:03 a.m. and set at 8:55 p.m.

This Week's Planet Roundup

Mercury is out of sight in conjunction with the Sun.

Venus and Jupiter (magnitudes =964.6 and =962.1) shine dramatically in the =
east
before and during dawn. They've widened to about 10=B0 or 12=B0 apart now, =
with
Jupiter higher.

Mars (magnitude +1.0) glows orange low in the west-southwest at dusk, lower
right of the Saturn-and-Spica pair by about 13=B0. Mars will pass between
Saturn and Spica in mid-August.

Saturn (magnitude +0.8) shines in the southwest as the stars come out.
Below it by 4=BD=B0 is Spica, nearly the same brightness but note the twink=
le
effect. After dark they move lower to the west-southwest.
