--f46d04462f667bc86b04c688083e Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Courtesy of Nelson Poirier: * * *This Week's Sky at a Glance* * Some night sky sights for August 3 - 11* By mid-evening this week, W-shaped *Cassiopeia *rises as high in the north-northeast as the bowl of the Big Dipper has sunk in the north-northwest. On Thursday, August 9, the *Moon *will go into its Last-quarter Phase meaning it will rise at midnight and set at noon. On Saturday night, August 11, the *Perseid meteor shower* should be at its best late night. Find a dark spot with a wide-open view of the sky overhead, bundle up against the late-night chill, lie back in a lounge chair, watch the sky and be patient. After midnight you may see a meteor a minute on average; fewer earlier. On Saturday, August 4, the *Sun *rose at 6:11 a.m. and set at 8:46 p.m. On Saturday, August 11, the sun will rise at 6:20 a.m. and sets at 8:36 p.m. *This Week's Planet Roundup * *Mercury *is still deep in the glow of sunrise. *Venus *and *Jupiter *(magnitudes -4.5 and -2.2) shine dramatically in the east before and during dawn. They've widened to about 18=B0 apart now; Jupiter is the higher one. *Mars *and *Saturn *(magnitudes +1.1 and +0.8, respectively) are low in the west-southwest at dusk, forming a triangle with the similarly bright star * Spica*.
